I think he is asking about this :
- when we remove a file what happens actually that it will
be removed from the inode table && its entery in the parent
directory will be removed too
here what happened that the file's data blocks were not
removed actually from the hard disk but there is no pointing
/ linking to it

rm never delete the link. only file get removed from index.
