sde is on a distinguished road
rmdir would be to remove a directory. if my memory serves me correctly, when i have used rm -rf on a directory, it did not like that.

i had to navigate to the directory, then do a rm -rf * then backup and do a rmdir /directory

anyone want to try it? i don't have access to a linux box atm. i don't mean try rm -rf /* i mean just try an rm -rf /somedirectory
