What is the difference between rm -r and rm -f? - Super User What do you mean they give the same result? rm -r emptydir removes that directory, rm -f emptydir does not These are two completely different command line options, each doing whatever its documentation says is doing
linux - rm -rf takes a long time - Super User I have a directory aggregated in which I have 7550 sub-dirs each containing 250 files aggregated has 5 5GB in total I've tried deleting aggregated via rm -rf aggregated and it is taking hours
find: -exec rm {} \; vs. -delete - why is the former widely . . . The -exec rm is not recommendable on many systems, for reasons I gave - lack of support, or a desire to restrict process count "widely recommended" does not mean ideal for all circumstances, and failing to address that assumption seems irresponsible
unix - Why does \rm work but rm doesnt? - Super User usually the rm command is aliased to rm -i You can remove that alias if you don't need it by doing rm='rm', also to make it automatic take a look at bash configuration files
Linux rm non-interactive command - Super User 1 rm is hardcoded to ask "interactively" (prompt waiting for user input) on write protected files there are two methods to prevent rm from asking: rm -rf somedir and rm -r --interactive=never somedir (both also work without -r when deleting files instead of dirs) explanation: -f makes rm to "ignore nonexistent files and arguments, never prompt"
What does rm -rf do? - Super User The rm command removes files The -r option will perform a recursive removal and the -f option will remove files without prompting you to confirm that you wish to have them removed, even if you would otherwise be prompted as to whether you wish to remove them due to the files permissions E g , if you type rm -rf somedirectory, the command will remove all files and subdirectories beneath the
