Code:
rm anything
That's just an applet, though, so the easy approach is to open the menu from the home screen, and choose Select applets..., and deselect it.

Dont do rm anything!!! Do the second thing that Benson said. Using the rm command can be very dangerous if you don't know what you are doing (rm means remove). I had a friend delete every file from his hard drive before because he was dumb enough to do
Code:
sudo rm -rf /
and wiped his system (almost)...
