How?  Opening my hood doesn't brea anything.  But this is asking, "How do
I manually trash my filesystem so fsck can fix it?"  Why would one ever
"want" to remove a file without doing it in a manner that let's the system
do it cleanly?  (Hint:  In 30 years of admining Unix systems I have never
needed to use clri.)
