Correct me if im wrong, i assume switch “-rf” is short for “Root File”, for the starting point of recursion
No, -r and -f are two different switches. -r is recursive, used so that it also removes folders within the directory. -f is force (so overriding all confirmations, etc).
TIL
It’s two switches. The f makes the operation forced. And the r makes the operation recursive.
