'RM' is not recognized as an internal or external command while using Meteor on Windows

i am currently having problem with 'meteor' and i am currently new to this learning this stuff. So, after installing 'Meteor' i opened command prompt on Windows and typed :

meteor create goodboy

and then,

cd goodboy

But to delete the live and already running example app, i used :

rm goodboy.*

But the command prompt, gave this error :

rm is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Is there anyway i can fix this error, thank you.

Use del on Windows.

Also, this has nothing to do with Meteor. You can also delete a Meteor project by going to the folder and dragging it to the trash.

If you are on windows, git bash may run such commands.

If you are using Mac then we can simply use

rm -f src/*

and For windows we can use command for this is

 del -f "src/*"

Hope this works fine for you.

Download and Extract PortableGit.

This has most of commonly used Linux based tools ported to windows.

Add [PortableGit Path]\usr\bin to PATH variable of Windows

You can also use your system's Git installation instead of PortableGit.

This should solve the problem
