take safe-updates out of your ~/.my.cnf file

My manual has it :
`-U, --safe-updates[=#], --i-am-a-dummy[=#]'
Only allow `UPDATE' and `DELETE' that uses keys. See below for
more information about this option. You can reset this option if
you have it in your `my.cnf' file by using `--safe-updates=0'.
...
A useful startup option for beginners (introduced in *MySQL* Version
3.23.11) is `--safe-updates' (or `--i-am-a-dummy' for users that has at
some time done a `DELETE FROM table_name' but forgot the `WHERE'
clause)
