删除

• 拼音: shān chú
• 汉字拆解: 删 = 刂(knife radical) + 册 (bamboo book tablet) = to cut out from a record; 除 = 阜 (earthwork radical) + 余 (phonetic chú) = to clear away — together: to cut out and completely remove

含义

To delete or remove completely; to erase data, text, or content leaving no trace, whether from a document or a digital system.

More absolute than 删 alone — implies complete removal. In digital contexts: 删除文件 (delete a file), 永久删除 (permanently delete), 删除记录 (delete a record). In political or media contexts, 内容遭到删除 often implies administrative or platform-enforced censorship. Technically, 删除 may not guarantee irrecoverability unless preceded by 永久.
