Answer 1

Deleting them from an existing project depends on your OS. If it is a Unix based system you could do something like this:

find . -type f -name '*.spec.ts' -delete

This would remove all files which end in spec.ts recursively starting in your current directory.

To prevent these files from being generated again use the --skipTests flag when generating components, providers, whatever:

ng g s my-service --skipTests

This will generate a service my-service without any spec files.
