Help: remove
hg remove [OPTION]... FILE...
aliases: rm
remove the specified files on the next commit
Schedule the indicated files for removal from the current branch.
This command schedules the files to be removed at the next commit. To undo a remove before that, see "hg revert". To undo added files, see "hg forget".
-A/--after can be used to remove only files that have already been deleted, -f/--force can be used to force deletion, and -Af can be used to remove files from the next revision without deleting them from the working directory.
The following table details the behavior of remove for different file states (columns) and option combinations (rows). The file states are Added [A], Clean [C], Modified [M] and Missing [!] (as reported by "hg status"). The actions are Warn, Remove (from branch) and Delete (from disk):
| opt/state | A | C | M | ! |
| none | W | RD | W | R |
| -f | R | RD | RD | R |
| -A | W | W | W | R |
| -Af | R | R | R | R |
Note that remove never deletes files in Added [A] state from the working directory, not even if option --force is specified.
Returns 0 on success, 1 if any warnings encountered.

| -A | --after | record delete for missing files |
