[QUOTE="miles01110, post: 1018758, member: 91347"] Using rm is a) dangerous and b) defeats the purpose of securely emptying the Trash. Secure Empty is slower because it is more intensive than "normal" empty, which is just a front end for rm anyways. If securely emptying the Trash is not what you wanted to do and just wanted to empty your Trash normally, don't use rm. There is no speed gain and a newbie will probably end up deleting their home folder. [/QUOTE]
Verification
How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
