command removes something. /
means root directory. in unix-based os linux, directories this:
/ ├── bin -> usr/bin ├── boot ├── dev ├── etc ├── home ├── lib -> usr/lib ├── lib64 -> usr/lib ├── lost+found ├── media ├── mnt ├── opt ├── proc ├── root ├── run ├── sbin -> usr/binvar ├── srv ├── sys ├── tmp ├── usr └── var
and of them inside root directory show /
and should *
in terminal means "everything" (code 42).
