Remember kids, you gotta use rm -rf --no-preserve-root /* now a days!

rm -rf /* will work just fine (assuming sudo permissions ofc)

You need the additional flag for rm -rf --no-preserve-root /

Too many people got trolled into "removing the French language pack" on Linux systems that there's now a check to see if someone is deleting every file off their computer (including the os system files). --no-preserve-root is the option you need to include to actually delete all the files off your system.

weird how it doesn't warn you for rm -rf /* though

depending on your shell, i believe the glob is expanded before it gets to the rm program
