Yes. Be very careful about using it. I have
rm aliased to
rm -i (interactive) on my PC, so that it asks before removing each file. It can be a bit annoying if you have a lot of files to remove (
rm -f can be used to override this), but it can help you to avoid accidentally removing files you want to keep.
