  1. p4 delete filename

    (output of p4 help delete)

    delete — Open an existing file to delete it from the depot

    p4 delete [ -c changelist# ] [ -n ] file …

    Opens a file that currently exists in the depot for deletion. If the file is present on the client it is removed.  If a pending changelist number is given with the -c flag the opened file is associated with that changelist, otherwise it is associated with the 'default' pending changelist.  Files that are deleted generally do not appear on the have list.  The -n flag displays what would be opened for delete without actually changing any files or metadata.
