[Ti] Undeletable trash

[Tom R. no spam]

And not to forget the usual warning that you can do lots of
real damage by using unix commands if you aren't careful,
and "rm -r" is one of the dangerous ones.  If you really
must use "rm -r", it's probably wise to actually do
"rm -ir" which will give you a chance to see what you are
deleting, file by file, and to decide if you really want
to delete it.  ("rm -r"--> remove the named directory and
everything inside it; "rm -ir" --> do the same but ask for
each item ("interactive").)  In the Trash case at hand,
"rm -r" is probably fine; but unwary users should be
careful about using it anywhere else. :-)
