Side point, you don't need semicolons at the end. Those are only to separate commands on the same line.
and now my problem: the first sudo rm -rfv command does NOTHING, means the loader entry is still there and I need to rm it by hand. whereas the second rm command does what I espect.
You are getting tricked by a common misunderstanding. The expansion of wildcards is done by the shell before running the command and rm only uses exactly what it is given. As a user, you don't have permission to look in the entries directory. That means that the wildcards are passed directly to rm as-is because the shell can't find any matches. rm doesn't find a file with a name called literally "*MY*", so it doesn't delete anything.
