rm command

[Toktam]

Hi everyone,

Is there any option for rm to remove a directory with no prompts?Actually I know about rm -r but by this option I have to answer lots of questions...

Cheers,

rm -rf i think?

that either does it, or deletes recursively. i cant remember. Google it. Be very careful if it is the latter

[masijade]

man rm

-r is recursive (including the directories)
-f force (don't ask)
-i interactive (ask before deleting)

Chances are, somewhere in the profile, whether in your shell or in /etc/profile is an alias that changes rm to rm -i.

Yes I use rm -rf for deleting folders and sub folders recursively without prompt.

-f don't prompt for confirmation

Hope this will solve your query
