minus-squarestebolinkfedilink10•13 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-square@Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglish1•edit-29 hours agoCorrect me if im wrong, i assume switch “-rf” is short for “Root File”, for the starting point of recursion
minus-square@numerator3962@lemmynsfw.comlinkfedilink6•7 hours agoIt’s two switches. The f makes the operation forced. And the r makes the operation recursive.
minus-square@Jrockwar@feddit.uklinkfedilink12•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).
