Tips for File Handling

Use tab completion to quickly navigate directories and input file names.
When dealing with files or directories with spaces in their names, use quotes:
```
@termipy >> setwd "My Documents"
```
Be cautious when using the delete command, as it permanently removes files and directories.
Use the tree command with a depth parameter to limit the levels shown:
```
@termipy >> tree -l 2
```
