This is

Sudo - Super user do; or root < admin

RM - Remove

F - forced, it won’t warn you that you are deleting your system

R - Recursively, it will delete every directory hereafter

/ - the start of your system…so everything but it not being there would do this as well

Never rm -rf if you actually need to do it for something then you know well enough that it is necessary

It's more like delete C:/

System32 and everything else.
