### Correct code:

rm "$HOME/Desktop/$filename"

|

### Rationale:
|
||||
|
||||
Tilde does not expand to the user's home directory when it's double quoted.
|
||||
Tilde does not expand to the user's home directory when it's single or double quoted. Use double quotes and `$HOME` instead.
|
||||
|
||||
To expand it, the tilde, the optional username, and its following slash should be outside of the double quotes.
|
||||
|
||||
These strings expand:
|
||||
|
||||
~/file # Correct: tilde up to the slash is unquoted (everything is)
|
||||
~/"$var" # Correct: tilde up to the slash is unquoted
|
||||
~user/"hello world.txt" # Correct: tilde up to the slash is unquoted
|
||||
|
||||
These strings do not, leaving a literal tilde:
|
||||
|
||||
# Fails!
|
||||
"~/file" # Wrong: tilde and slash are quoted when they shouldn't be.
|
||||
~"/file" # Wrong: slash is quoted when it shouldn't be.
|
||||
~user"/hello world.txt" # Wrong: slash is quoted when it shouldn't be.
|
||||
Alternatively, the `~/` can be left unquoted, as in `rm ~/"Desktop/$filename"`.
