Thank you for the amazing article! I used to use rm -rf without knowing what it meant, now I do!

What happens when rm -rf * command is used on any path. For example, what happens when this is done to "company/employe/ rm -rf *" where the employe directory has got sub directories in it? Will it throw an error or it deletes the files and all the sub directories present in employe directory
