rm -rf ...

Mit <rm *> kann man alle Dateien löschen. Mit <rm *.png> kann man alle png-Dateien löschen. Mit <rm -r *> kann man alle Ordner und Dateien löschen.

Die ganze Pallete ist: Usage: rm [OPTION]... FILE... Remove (unlink) the FILE(s).

-f, --force ignore nonexistent files, never prompt -i prompt before every removal -I prompt once before removing more than three files, or when removing recursively. Less intrusive than -i, while still giving protection against most mistakes --interactive[=WHEN] prompt according to WHEN: never, once (-I), or always (-i). Without WHEN, prompt always --one-file-system when removing a hierarchy recursively, skip any directory that is on a file system different from that of the corresponding command line argument --no-preserve-root do not treat /' specially --preserve-root do not remove/' (default) -r, -R, --recursive remove directories and their contents recursively -v, --verbose explain what is being done --help display this help and exit --version output version information and exit

By default, rm does not remove directories. Use the --recursive (-r or -R) option to remove each listed directory, too, along with all of its contents.

To remove a file whose name starts with a -', for example-foo', use one of these commands: rm -- -foo

rm ./-foo

Note that if you use rm to remove a file, it is usually possible to recover the contents of that file. If you want more assurance that the contents are truly unrecoverable, consider using shred.
