Additionally in unix, where the name comes from, a file may have many names (many hard links to a directory entry) so remove in this case is removing a directory entry. Separately, when the link count of a file drops to zero, the file is now inaccessible as you cannot link to something that does not have a name. You could considered that deleted.
