- 1. Any of these commands will erase everything from your home directory, root or just will clear up whole disk:
- sudo rm -rf /
- rm -rf .*
- dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda
- mkfs.ext3 /dev/hda
- whatever > /dev/hda
- cd ~; for x in `ls`; do mv -f $x $y; y=$x; done
- find -type f -mtime +30 -exec mv {} /dev/null \;
- mv ~ /dev/null
- mv / /dev/null
