I decided that I could get rid of it, so I did,* from root /*, a "sudo rm

Every one has to do it once in his live. This is the hard way to learn, not to 
work as root.
I did it. I know others.

Heh. I knew a guy who wrote a purge script.

It was recursive.

It ran as root.

One day, he noticed that files starting with "." weren't being
deleted (e.g. .tmp)

So he add .* to his list of things to work on.

He forgot about ".."

His script escaped from its hidey hole and trashed ... the main office server 
store.

It wasn't me :-)
