[olug] Unix Tip: GET THE HIDDEN FILES

[Jacobs, Robert A.]

Aliasing rm, cp and mv to their -i equivalents is probably one of the
smartest things I ever did.  Has 
saved my but on more than one occasion!  If you are not doing it, I'd highly
recommend it.  You can always
force (-f) the issue if you really want to (though, if you make this a
habit, the whole point of the alias
evaporates).

You can also setup an alias under yr shell, like I
have under my bash shell

alias rm="rm -i" 

So that it will ask u if u want to delete foo or not.
