Safe File Deletion

When to use this skill

Use this skill only when files or directories must genuinely be deleted. Do not use it to move, rename, or relocate content that should remain; use mv instead.

This skill is particularly useful when:

• Refactoring code and removing obsolete files or directories
• Deleting obsolete duplicates after choosing the copy to keep
• Removing generated files that shouldn't be tracked
• Deleting obsolete files during large-scale code reorganization
• Deleting entire directories of old code
