How do you figure that's going to put "rm -rf" on a leash?

       -f, --force
              ignore nonexistent files, never prompt

       -i, --interactive
              prompt before any removal

       -r, -R, --recursive
              remove directories and their contents recursively

If you want a leash, omit the "f" next time.
