Rm is a powerful command, especially Rm-RF, which is sometimes powerful enough to make you cry. It's easy to clear all the files and directories in the current directory. 
$ SudoRm-RF./*

It's okay, but if you do not care about it
$ SudoRm-RF/*

Sorry, bro!
There are also a variety of other cups, such as opening a lot of windows, there are local machines and several remote servers, originally want to execute the RM-RF command from this machine, but mistakenly entered to the terminal window of other machines. In short, RM is too dangerous, especially when the-RF parameter is included, be cautious, but when the tiger also has a nap, so why don't you give rm a dose of regret? Well, it's it, trash-cli.
