Did you also check the .bashrc for the user you are logged in as? Perhaps you successfully removed them from the global settings via /etc/bashrc but the local user had the aliases directly? Holly

Re: [newbie] Confirming deletion
Actually as a side note. You don't have to log out and log back in. You can type source .bashrc at the command prompt, or you can just restart the termincal window. I've found that Etem quite often likes you to close that window and open another one. But that's just a FYI. :0) tdh -- T.

Hi M, the confirmation stuff is set through aliases which are loaded from your ~/.bashrc: # .bashrc # User specific aliases and functions alias mv='mv -i' alias cp='cp -i' alias s='cd ..' alias d='ls' alias p='cd -' alias rm='rm -i' Remove or comment out (using #) the aliases you don't want, log in again, and the confirmations are gone.

[newbie] Confirming deletion
Hey, You know, I remember long ago finding how to turn ~on~ the command line feature to confirm rm, but I can't find how to turn it off now lm turnsit on by default. I've been using the -f option, but would really like to not be prompted at all. How ~is~ that turned off?
