    Exactly, but that wasn’t the question.

      What are you talking about? The does exactly what I said it does.

      It only does nothing for you because you used it incorrectly (in the wrong folder without the required argument),

        The question is:

        what happens when you give the command in the command line rm -rf ?

        rm -rf * or here rm -rf test are different commands.
