I’m not going to try it but… rm “./-rf *” would do the same? rm “./-rf \*” maybe?

Couldn’t get single quotes to type on my phone, but best to always use them for problems like that, to completely get rid of shell interference.

If you do want to try, just start a docker container and try inside there. That should negate all risk
