Unix is a "what you say is what you get" sort of operating system. It is not very forgiving, but I like it that way. It sucks when you type "rm -r *" in the root directory by accident. I did type it once and learned a very valuable lesson (don't do that).
If you are often deleting files by accident, you should look into a solution that moves the files to a temporary folder to be deleted later. I can see this happening if your used to windows or macos, because you can always restore. I think gnome does this on the desktop by default. -Nathan >-----Original Message----- >From: Oliver Lange > >Redeeman wrote: >> >> its not a minus, its also a feature, sometimes if i delete data i really >> want it to disappear! > >Well if i want to delete a file forever, there are many tools out there >which do the job.
