when i'm not sure if the rm command i'm going to run is the one i actually want i do this: # ls ~* and then if the list of files i get is what i actually want i run the rm command (as other have warned be careful not to get a space in there by mistake). also if you're really not sure or if you want to delete all of the ~* commands but a couple of them you can do this: # rm -i ~* which will prompt you with a yes/no option before it deletes each file. adam.
