Or was it non preserve. I never tried it though. I guess a vm should be fine to test it. On the other hand I don't care enough.
The flag is called
--no-preserve-root
, but the flag wouldn't do anything here because you're not deleting root (/
), you're deleting all non-hidden files and directories under root (/*
), and rm will just let you do it.Pretty sure it's --no-preserve-root or something similar.
