I always use trash-cli and alias rm to 'echo NO! #'.

Only if the file is too big to fit into the garbage bin, I can unalias rm, rm the thing and then reset the alias immediately after.

fwiw you can usually bypass aliases ad-hoc.

In Bash I believe instead of `ls` you can `\ls` to get the unaliased version.

You can also use the full path to the program, enclose it in quotes, or call "unalias ls" to disassociate it for that shell.

I thought -f cancels out -i, and when you alias "rm=rm -i", and then run "rm -rf" you get "rm -i -rf" and -f is last so it still wins.
