Why don't you just answer all the questions? Too busy?
Even too busy to read the man-page?

As man rm states:

 -f, --force
              ignore nonexistent files, never prompt

So rm -rf /disk4/vmx/sirlo/mesut will kill your Directory.

But be advised to be _very_ careful when combining the -r (-R) and -f
Options. It's easy to do destroy one's system using rm -rf the wrong
way.
