  • yeh you can't remove it because it has its own mount point (in most cases) if you do /* it should recursively delete everything it can thats inside a sub directory.

  • it works for /*

  • Can't see shit, use bigger font if you upload demonstration videos like this to youtube.

    "Cannot remove root directory '/'"

    What if you try it on /etc or /dev or any major directory? Would it just halt?
