Try rm -W nameoffile. See man rm for the proper use in bash if that does not work. To avoid such things in future, add an alias to your .bashrc file such as alias rm rm -i. This makes rm ask for confirmation before it really deletes a file. Hope that helps. |

"Are you sure?" prompts tend to be treated with contempt. "Of course I'm bloody sure, dumb computer! Do as you're told". This, of course, is often followed by the "Oh......" reaction. My favorite, so far, is the character who was told by the software that he was trying to flash his BIOS with the wrong code. I'm sure it was a very strong warning. He knew what he was doing. He was a computer user flashing his BIOS. He was very soon a computer user without a working computer. |
