When using 'rm -f' (with or without '-r') the iron rule is |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
(1) goto the dir which contains the items to be removed |
| 11 |
(2) 'pwd' |
| 12 |
(3) 'ls <whatever>' |
| 13 |
(4) if <whatever> is not '*', recall that line with Up-arrow, |
| 14 |
backspace over 'ls' & replace with 'rm -f' |
| 15 |
(5) sit on hands for >= 10 sec while examining the results of (2 3 4) |
| 16 |
(6) & only then, 'rm -f <whatever>'. |
