The ipfs files command allows you to manipulate a virtual mutable filesystem. ipfs files rm Qm... doesn't work because, while a file with that hash may exist in IPFS, no file by that name has been added to your virtual filesystem (e.g., with ipfs files cp /ipfs/QmPsndrz6Q6kRAsU5pd3VkBDRj6qXHdhduKevk4yDajGhe /QmPsndrz6Q6kRAsU5pd3VkBDRj6qXHdhduKevk4yDajGhe).

(closing for tracking)
