Can't run rm command in sublime text 2

Question

Good Day,

I am trying to run a build file to remove files in sublime text 2. Like this:

"cmd": ["make","all"],
"working_dir": "${file_path}",
"selector": "source.makefile",
"path": "/usr/local/bin:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin:/Users/Raaj/sat/bin",

"variants":
 [
   {
     "name": "Clean",
     "cmd": ["rm", "-f","demo.hex","demo.elf"]
   },
   {
     "name": "All",
     "cmd": ["make", "all"]
   }
 ]
}

All works great, however upon clean, it says

[Errno 2] No such file or directory
[cmd:  [u'rm', u'-f', u'demo.hex', u'demo.elf']]
[dir:  /Users/Raaj/Documents/STM32F4/Project/IO_Toggle]
[path: /usr/local/bin:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin:/Users/Raaj/sat/bin]
[Finished]

Even if i changed rm to some rubbish like lol. it gives the same error. I dont get it

Basic commands like rm and ls are usually located in /bin or /usr/bin. You need to add these paths to the "path" variable so Sublime Text 2 can find them.

"path": "/usr/local/bin:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin:/Users/Raaj/sat/bin:/bin:/usr/bin",

If you need to locate where a program lives, use the which command:

$ which telnet
/usr/bin/telnet
