wikipedia:rm (Unix) is used to remove different type objects such as computer files, directories and symbolic links from file systems and also special files such as device nodes, pipes and sockets.


rm /path/to/your/file
rm -rf
echo "" > /path/to/the/file.log
If it was already deleted, on Linux, you can still truncate it by doing:
echo "" > "/proc/$pid/fd/$fd"
