[Gllug] Lost all my emails

[Christian Smith]

A nice trick for avoiding 'rm -f * .foo' nightmares is to create a file
named '-i' in all directories where you don't want to remove everything
eg. /, /usr etc. I also have one in my $HOME directory and $HOME/bin. Has
saved me a couple of times.

That way, 'rm -f *' will have the -i override the -f, and prompt you
to confirm removals.
