If you do use rm -r, be sure to pay close attention to what you are
deleting. rm -r is fast and permanent, plus a great way to wipe out a whole
drive if you're not careful.
If your system prompts you with a y/n question for every file when using
rm -r, add an 'f' to the switches: rm -rf (r = recursive, f = force - no
prompting)
