p4 obliterate -y

What a great command name. And, tonight is the first time I’ve used it in a place where things could actually go wrong if I mistyped something. — Majorly wrong. p4 obliterate is the command in Perforce to completely remove a source tree — it removes all traces of its existence. It would certainly be a problem if I ran the command a directory level too high. Whooo! Feel the rush! York peppermint patties have got nothing on this!

    SUPERs are the only ones that can obliterate, right?

    according to p4 help obliterate:
    ‘p4 obliterate’ requires ‘admin’ access granted by ‘p4 protect’.

    so, I guess both SUPERs and ADMINs can run obliterate (SUPER is the highest level, one level above ADMIN)
