After Deleting A Web Server, I Started Checking What I Typed Before Hitting 'Enter'

Student thought she had the hang of this 'Linux' thing and its kooky CLI
This week, meet a reader we'll Regomize as "Wilma" who told us that while at university she volunteered with a group working on the student association's website.
The team completed a new version of the site, and Wilma got the job of uploading it
She therefore set out to delete the old site, before loading the new code.
"To my horror I realized I was in the root directory of the web server - /var/www -rather than the directory holding the files for the site," she told Who, Me? "I had just deleted all websites on the student association's webserver."
