Wikipedia
Delete key
The delete key is a key on most computer keyboards which is typically used to delete either (in text mode) the character ahead of or beneath the cursor, or (in GUI mode) the currently-selected object. The key is sometimes referred to as the "forward delete" key. This is because the backspace key also deletes characters, but to the left of the cursor. On many keyboards, such as most Apple keyboards, the key with the backspace function is also labelled "delete".

Delete key
When struck on a computer keyboard during text or command editing, the delete key discards the character ahead of the cursor's position, moving all following characters one position "back" towards the freed letterspace. The key appears on IBM-compatible PC keyboards labeled as 'Delete' or 'Del'. On some Mac keyboards, the key that performs the forward delete function is labeled 'del', or with a special right arrow glyph enclosing an 'x' with the word del or delete above or to the left of it, since the full word delete by itself is reserved for labelling the key known on other keyboards as Backspace.
