Not to worry; you can't delete a file in Unix until it's good and ready
to let you delete it. Unlike most operating systems, Unix does not
actually have a file delete operation. When you think you are deleting
a file, you are really only unlinking it.
Does this mean there is a way of recovering a file you "rm" only
to find out it was a really big "OPPS!!" in doing so?
