Even though I give rm -f *, the files are listed for confirmation of removal .

Why ?

Thanks

A lot of systems will give you an alias'd rm (alias rm="rm -i") for Interactive deletion...
Type:
alias | grep rm
To see if this is the case. If so, you can either unalias it, or simply type:
\rm -f *
(notice backslash first)
