What does Delete really mean?

Hey there! So, when we talk about the word "delete," we're talking about getting rid of something. Just like when you throw away a piece of paper, or erase a mistake on your homework. It's like pressing the backspace key on the keyboard to remove a letter or a word you don't want there anymore.

When you delete something, it means you're removing it from where it was before. Whether it's a file on the computer, a message in your phone, or even a picture in an album, when you delete it, it's gone from that place. It's like taking a clean piece of paper and wiping off the writing or drawing that was on it before.

So, imagine you have a room that's all cluttered with things you don't need anymore. When you delete something, it's like taking one of those things and throwing it away to make the room neat and organized again. It's like saying, "I don't need this anymore, so I'm getting rid of it."

I hope that helps you understand what "delete" means! Let me know if you have any other questions!
