It is a very good question for a fresher to tackle.

rm -rf
yes ofcourse r stands for recursively
f stands for forcefully
and this is used to remove normalfiles, tarfiles, zip files
etc..

One more important thing is, it can be used in scripts
where in it works/ removes only if the file exists. If we
use rm filename in scripts, it removes if it exits else it
throws error message telling this file not exist. Hence
using rm -rf is better option for shell scripting than rm.
