7Only problem with this is you may become a little fast and loose with the rm command and forget that you don't have the handy undelete functionality on your company Linux server... oops...– jmort253Commented May 6, 2011 at 2:34

2-1 This has the same problem as over down-voted answers (so I'll steal someone else's comment): one day not have this script in place – maybe you're sitting at another computer or you have ssh'd into somewhere – and you will use rm being used to the safety net and you will do something you regret.– DMA57361Commented May 6, 2011 at 16:33

@Corey Although I agree that this could cause a bad habbit, +1 because this answer has been too heavily downvoted– John MiliterCommented Feb 12, 2017 at 21:56

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
