This is
Sudo - Super user do; or root < admin
RM - Remove
F - forced, it won’t warn you that you are deleting your system
R - Recursively, it will delete every directory hereafter
/ - the start of your system…so everything but it not being there would do this as well
Never rm -rf if you actually need to do it for something then you know well enough that it is necessary
Ah the linux version of delete system32 or charge your phone in the microwave.
It's more like delete C:/
System32 and everything else.
