How does one execute a command on the terminal?

If you can't open the link, these are the commands that I need to execute to completely delete Android Studio from my laptop.

rm -Rf /Applications/Android\ Studio.app
rm -Rf /Applications/Android\ Studio.app
rm -Rf /Applications/Android\ Studio.app

When I type the command into command prompt, it says "'rm' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.". Any help is appreciated.

A better Windows Command-Line equivalent of rm -rf is

rmdir /s /q

or, probably not as good, but interesting and informative

echo y | rmdir /s

This is discussed in the answer, here. There, I referenced the "interesting and informative" command ...

... used back in the day when commands did not have options to suppress confirmation messages. Simply ECHO the needed response and pipe the value into the command.

rm is a Unix utility for removing files. If you are not using a Unix based OS like Linux or OSX, then this instruction is probably not for you. To uninstall you can simply go to Control Panel and uninstall as you do other programs. The rm alternative for Windows Command prompt is called del. More information on del is found here.
