Re: [libreoffice-users] How to delete ~/.config/libreoffice/

Hi,

The "-f" option (force) will basically ignore any non write access
protections. Without it, rm will prompt for each file that needs to be
deleted if the proper access rights are not correctly set (which I find
annoying when I want to delete a directory tree). In this specific
case, the intent is to remove the entire folder so using -f will allow
rm to perform its task in silent mode. Obviously, it needs to be used
with some level of caution, like any silent function operator; this is
why I also proposed an alternate method that allows the possibility of
recovery. But it is still up to the user to decide.

Rgds,

Rémy Gauthier.
