A bit of a desperate hope, since the "-r" flag tells "rm" to fully
remove any subdirectories it finds ("r" for "recursive"); it sure
doesn't make it any *less* likely that you'll accidentally blow files
away, and probably makes it *more* likely. Did you perhaps mean
"alias rm rm -i" ("i" for "interactive"), so that it'll ask you before
removing anything?
