Be aware that rm (short for ReMove, makes it easier to remember) comes with the safety off:

- You will not be prevented from deleting important files if you have the filesystem permissions.
- There is no garbage can, once it's deleted it can't be easily recovered, if at all.
- Be careful if the filename includes spaces of special characters especially "*". If you try to delete a file named "copy of important.txt" you'll easily end up trying to delete three files, called "copy" "of" and "important.txt" and it will delete "important.txt" even if it can't find the others.
