When using 'rm -f' (with or without '-r') the iron rule is
(1) goto the dir which contains the items to be removed
(2) 'pwd'
(3) 'ls <whatever>'
(4) if <whatever> is not '*', recall that line with Up-arrow,
backspace over 'ls' & replace with 'rm -f'
(5) sit on hands for >= 10 sec while examining the results of (2 3 4)
(6) & only then, 'rm -f <whatever>'.
