Is there any way to avoid file delete confirmation in unix ( apart
from rm -rvf option ) while using rm command ?
For safety (undo-ability), and neatness; un-alias "rm", and move
the-files-to-be-deleted to "/tmp" instead.
To also ensure privacy, create "~/tmp", move the-files-to-be-deleted to it
instead, and clean it up periodically.
