Or you could use rm -i * or *.doc and have the system prompt you for each file 
in the directory (or match list) as to whether you really want to delete it or 
not.  This way, if you goof, you get to SEE what is going to be deleted, as 
opposed to finding out the hard way.  Also, if all else fails you can use clri 
on the inode and let fsck clean up.
