What happens if you do rm -rf /try from root?
(I/m not all that familiar with Deb, but you must
have some way to get admin permission, if you
are the owner of the install. su or perhaps sudo.)
Careful:
1) From the above output it it not certain the the directory is in /.
2) And no its not cool to insert -rf into rm by default. Modern linux
filesystems on modern storage can delete several thousands files a
second! So
if you just wanted to delete a file and you added rm -rf, just cause you
think you are Linux ubergeek, and then by mistake you gave rm a
directory…
well farewell to your data.
So first think, then only if really necessary use rm -rf or kill -9.
