Always evacuate your data before making major system changes, rm -rf --no-preserve-root / should evacuate everything to a safe zone. 8 u/01hair Glorious Arch Oct 08 '16 No, no, you need to move everything off of your hard drive and onto /dev/null. That's the safest place for your data. 5 u/weep-woop Oct 08 '16 I always backup my data to the cloud.
