How to delete it?

[Cheryl Homiak]

The safe way of doing this (which I confess i don't use as much as I probably
should for my own good) is
rm -r -i
(whatever directory you want to get rid of with all of its subdirectories. You
will be asked about descending into the directory; you will be asked about each
file; finally, you will BE askED if you want to delete the directory. tedious,
yes.
but unless your thinking is crystal clear at the moment and you are absolutely
sure you want to delete the whole directory with subdirectories and all files
involved, doing things the tedious way could end up saving you hours of work and
tons of regret!
believe me, I KNOW! From EXPERIENCE!

by the way, there is a recover program and also an undelete (see the undelete
howto) and one of these will sometimes allow you to recover deleted files or
portions thereof. Sometimes! But I wouldn't count on it; much better to avoid
the problem in the first place!
