shell script to remove a file if it already exist

Question

I am working on some stuff where I am storing data in a file. But each time I run the script it gets appended to the previous file.

I want help on how I can remove the f

Answer 1

If you want to ignore the step to check if file exists or not, then you can use a fairly easy command, which will delete the file if exists and does not throw an error if it is non-existing.

 rm -f xyz.csv
