The thread you linked to says to use rm -rf, but I'm not sure what path/file I should list, and I checked the man pages on rm, and that sounds a bit dangerous. If I do: $ rm -rf /Users/me/.gem will that delete /Users/me and /Users ? Or will it only delete a directory if it is empty? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
