    I know just enough about Linux to know that’s problematic. I don’t know anything about language packs to know why someone try to remove one this way though. Just seems wrong from the get go.

      It’s an old joke:

      sudo = admin rights

      rm = remove

      fr = force recursive (the more popular syntax is

      “rf” but for the joke its “fr” which looks like a short form for French)

      / * = C:\

      It doesn’t remove the French language pack, it removes the entire harddrive.
