The trailing slash should make no difference
{{{
rm -rf spkg/installed
}}}
will remove the directory spkg/installed and of course anything in any
subdirectory of spkg/installed.
In contrast
{{{
rm -rf spkg/installed*
}}}
would remove anything starting with spkg/installed, such as
{{{
spkg/installeda
spkg/installedb
spkg/installedc
spkg/installed-but-do-not-delete-this-directory
}}}
I have removed the 'beginner' tag.
