rm command removes the file, really?

Do you really think that just doing rm "your file name" will remove the file completely? if YES you need to read this blog till end.

just do a

rm --help

and see the information, you will see a note there like this

rm information

this note suggests to use the shred command so do I did

shred --help

shred info

This seems like a good note and I was relaxed that my file will be removed completely now or at least will be harder to recover. and made my mind to use shred instead of rm from now but wait got this CAUTION in the end.

shred cautuion

at last I red a few blogs but could not find a command which does the JOB, can anyone suggest a better command than these two or a way to remove the file as I have some important credentials file which I need to remove completely ?

Tell me in your answers here.
