          They’re right. The modern versions of rm 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.
