Re: [SLUG] Help with rm

["Stuart Cooper" <stucoope@xxxxxxxxx>]

rm -rf /bad/directory

this deletes the directory as well, you can mkdir /bad/directory again 
afterwards if you need that directory to be there.

also as someone pointed out, instead of 'echo *', you can use 'ls'. 
'echo *' is handy when your machine is sick (you might be short on
memory and you can't start new processes for example; echo is a shell builtin 
and is therefore more efficient as you will find out) but when
all you want to do is generate a list of filenames, ls is your friend.

Cheers,
Stuart.
