Deleting a file with nano

I am trying to load in KDEmod files and am getting error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)                         
kdemod-kdebase-workspace: /etc/kde/env/agent-startup.sh exists in filesystem   
kdemod-kdebase-workspace: /etc/kde/shutdown/agent-shutdown.sh exists in filesystem .

So can anyone tell me how to delete these files with nano.  Kdemod will replace them just need to get these two out so it will.

Thanks

What's the point in deleting a file with a text editor? A text editor is meant to manipulate text, not manage your files.

Use rm.
