DESCRIPTION
     gdal vsi delete delete files and directories located on GDAL  Virtual  File
     Systems  (compressed,  network  hosted, etc...): /vsimem, /vsizip, /vsitar,
     /vsicurl, ....

     This is the equivalent of the UNIX rm command, and gdal vsi rm is an  alias
     for gdal vsi delete.

     WARNING:
	Be careful. This command cannot be undone. It can also act on the "real"
	file system.

   Options
     -r, -R, --recursive
	    Delete directories recursively.

RETURN STATUS CODE
     The  program returns status code 0 in case of success, and non-zero in case
     of error (non-blocking errors emitted as warnings are considered as a  suc-
     cessful execution).

EXAMPLES
   Example 1: Delete recursively files from /vsis3/bucket/my_dir
	$ gdal vsi delete -r /vsis3/bucket/my_dir
