How to delete a locally uploaded file on google colab?

Question

I'm trying to delete a file that I uploaded on Google colab using the following code:

from google.colab import files
uploaded = files.upload()

How to delete the file now? e.g If the file's name is 'sample.jpg' .

Answer 1

Try this

!rm sample.jpg

Then check that it is gone with !ls -al

Update (nov 2018) Now you can click to open left pane, browse the files tab, then right click to select and delete a file.
