# rm *
/bin/rm: Argument list too long.
in this directory about 25000 files,
but actually there is only one argument to rm it is '*' sign.
Why rm get list of all files in directore instead of deleting one by one?
Short answer: this is not Windows.
Long answer: shell does wildcard expands, therefore rm gets about 25000
arguments of expanded '*'. Try
find ./ -type f -delete
Thanks,
