How to delete large file Linux

To delete a large file in Ubuntu, you can use the rm (remove) command in the terminal. Here's how to do it:

1. Open a terminal window.
2. Navigate to the directory containing the file you want to delete using the cd command. For example, if the file is located in the "Downloads" folder, you can type cd ~/Downloads.
3. Once you're in the directory, type the following command and press Enter:

sudo rm filename

Replace "filename" with the actual name of the file you want to delete. The sudo command is used to give you superuser privileges, which are necessary to delete certain files. 4. If the file is very large and the command seems to be taking a long time, you can add the -v (verbose) option to the command to see the progress of the deletion. For example:

sudo rm -v filename

Note: Be very careful when using the rm command, as it permanently deletes files and there is no way to recover them once they are gone. Make sure you are deleting the correct file and that you have a backup copy if necessary.
