      Not necessarily. A 500 response means internal server error and could be anything. Returning a 500 doesn’t indicate any protections just that there was a server error. I guess that it returned anything would mean the server is still running but it takes time to delete everything

      I would like to execute the following command:

      sudo rm -fr /home/user/Documents/old/…/./…/./Music/badSongs/…/…/…/./Downloads/…/…/./././*

      Is it safe?

      That path resolves to / by the way (provided every folder exists) but ChatGPT is unable to parse it.

        How does this work? I tried to cd with … in bash and it doesn’t seem to work. And what would be the point of the single dots in there?

        Wouldn’t that path only resolve if those intermediate directories exist? I thought bash had to crawl the path to resolve it

          Yeah, that’s what I meant with folders.

          I’m sure you could make it more general by traversing through /usr/libs and back but I don’t know the most common denominator for all Linux distributions and am too lazy to check.
