This strategy will fail pretty badly if you're on someone else's computer using Windows or DOS, where 'del' is the delete command.


Does `del -rf /` do a lot on Windows?


I doubt it, but `del *` should do the same thing on both systems.


Except that on windows, "del" defaults to prompting "are you sure" when one types "del *".
