## DESCRIPTION

g.remove removes data files matching a pattern given by wildcards or POSIX Extended Regular Expressions. If the -f force flag is not given then nothing is removed, instead the list of selected file names is printed to `stdout` as a preview of the files to be deleted.

## EXAMPLES

Delete `map1` and `map2` raster maps in the current mapset:

    g.remove -f type=raster name=tmp1,tmp2

Delete all raster and vector maps starting with "`tmp_`" in the current mapset:

    # show matching raster and vector maps but do not delete yet (as verification)
    g.remove type=raster,vector pattern="tmp_*"

    # actually delete the matching raster and vector maps
    g.remove -f type=raster,vector pattern="tmp_*"

Delete all vector maps starting with "`stream_`" in the current mapset, but exclude those ending with "`_final`":

    g.remove -f type=vector pattern="stream_*" exclude="*_final"
