Typically, "Del" stands for "delete."
Most times, this key will do different things depending on the type of keyboard/computer you have. For example, on macs, the "delete" key is also the backspace key, so it will delete the last character you typed. However, on most pcs, the "delete" key will delete characters you typed that are in front of your cursor.
That it is a tool that does its job well, it's a technology that works.
Good luck and I hope u can find the right answer
