7. Annihilating
Finally, we try investigating our Magical Destroying Powers
Deleting Directories and Files!Especially Releant: in a Working Environment you should Triple Check the Commands Before Execution…
Because in the Shell Environment there’s No Trash Bin and so the stuff is directly Annihilated!!![And as you may have already wittily perceived, here “Removing” is just Resumed in “rm“]
-
How Removing Files.First, we Wipe Out the ‘box’ in the ‘livingroom’ with:
rm $HOME/livingroom/box
Check it with:
ls $HOME/livingroom/
Now we try the same for Multiple Entities…
First, we Make a Copy of the ‘can’ into then ‘bathroom’ in a ‘jar’ into the ‘bedroom’, Magically as before… :)) with:cp $HOME/bathroom/can $HOME/bedroom/jar
And now how to brutally Get Rid of Both? Simply like that:
rm $HOME/bathroom/can $HOME/bedroom/jar
-
How Removing Directories.Now we Start to furiously Destroying our nice Home… [[[:
First, we Raze the ‘livingroom’:rm -rf $HOME/livingroom
“-rf” is a combination of Flags. “r” for Recursively and “f” for Forced
And finally, finally, we simply Desert All-in-one the Remaining Habitats:
rm -rf ~/bathroom ~/bedroom ~/garden
Sorry, we have Turned our Home into Empty Space, but What a JOKE! {{{:
