How to delete files with spaces?

To delete files with spaces in their names in Linux, you can use either of the following methods: escaping the spaces with a backslash (\) or enclosing the file name in quotes. Here are both methods:

Method 1: Escaping Spaces

You can use a backslash before each space:

rm file\ with\ spaces.txt

Method 2: Using Quotes

You can enclose the file name in single or double quotes:

rm "file with spaces.txt"

or

rm 'file with spaces.txt'

Example:

If you want to delete a file named my document.txt, you can use either of the following commands:

rm my\ document.txt

or

rm "my document.txt"

Both methods will successfully delete the specified file.
