What happens if you do rm -rf /try from root?
(I/m not all that familiar with Deb, but you must
have some way to get admin permission, if you
are the owner of the install. su  or perhaps sudo.)

Careful:

1) From the above output it it not certain the the directory is in /.

2) And no its not cool to insert -rf into rm by default. Modern linux
filesystems on modern storage can delete several thousands files a second! So
if you just wanted to delete a file and you added rm -rf, just cause you
think you are Linux ubergeek, and then by mistake you gave rm a directory…
well farewell to your data.


So first think, then only if really necessary use rm -rf or kill -9.

Ciao,

"$" vs "#". The user isn't root. The position of the "/" seems to be a typo. The OP now is warned to be careful and to verify information, before doing what's recommended.
