On my home box I've aliased rm to "rm -i" so it at least asks me for 
confirmation -it is a tad annoying when deleting large numbers of files - 
better solution might be to alias rm to mv the files to a designated folder 
- then add a shutdown script or cron/at job to delete the files whenever 
suits.
