simple questions about a command think thats what it is called in bash....

[Roxxy]

rm tmp/ Public/ Templates/ -r


Someone *not saying any names* did this in bash(looked in history)...
Yes I am new to terminal stuff and at the moment reading up on it...but

1.Can someone explain to me what this mean?
What i understand is that to remove something....folders maybe?

2.If it is folders do you know what abouts was in them? What was in those folders used for? Is it important for something?

rm tmp/ Public/ Templates/ -r

First, open a console and type:

man rm

to learn about the rm command.

Second, what you typed is most certainly not typed correctly. This is what it 'should' have looked like:

rm -r /tmp/Public/Templates

This means remove recursively (everything) in the /tmp/Public/Templates folder.
