The CP command or copy is a way to make copies of files so you can have redundant storage of files or to copy into other parts of the storage. The MV command or move is a way to move files to different directory's. and lastly the RM command or remove this is how you delete files from a directory. Since you are using the terminal, you need to be careful when using this command as it can easily remove the wrong file if you're not careful if you do try checking the recycling bin or use windows file recovery.
