  Iirc you need a --no-preserve-root or somenthing for it to work.

    They’re right. The latest kernels have a safe guard and you need to type –no-preserve-root to force it to delete /.

    You can also just do sudo rm -rf /* and let shell expansion do the rest.

    WARNING: DO NOT RUN THESE COMMANDS. THEY WILL DELETE EVERYTHING ON YOUR ROOT PARTITION.

      The fact that the second one still works is a bit terrifying.
