minus-squarestebo@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up10·14 hours agoisn’t the command meant to be used on a certain path? like if you just graduated high school, you can just run “rm -rf ~/documents/homework/” ?
minus-squareZorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-29 hours agoCorrect me if im wrong, i assume switch “-rf” is short for “Root File”, for the starting point of recursion
minus-squarenumerator3962@lemmynsfw.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·7 hours agoIt’s two switches. The f makes the operation forced. And the r makes the operation recursive.
minus-squareJrockwar@feddit.uklinkfedilinkarrow-up12·9 hours agoNo, -r and -f are two different switches. -r is recursive, used so that it also removes folders within the directory. -f is force (so overriding all confirmations, etc).
