well... one of the things I do so that I make sure that I am NOT going
to screp up again and remove something VERY important is I creat a
subdirectory, move everything into it, move the stuff I want to keep
back out of it, verify that I only have stuff in the subdirectory that I
want blown away then kill that.  It is a little long winded, but I've
shot to many holes in my foot by messing up removing these files...

To recap:

mkdir scratch

mv * scratch

cd scratch

mv S* l* r* P* h* ..

ls
<should give> \033:\033\033::q

cd ..

rm -ri scratch
