I'm pretty sure invoking 'rm -r .*' doesn't delete '.' or '..'. These 
filenames are usually only deleted when you create or remove a directory. 
But test before you try that. rm -r .* should delete all files and 
directories that are hidden using the .*, providing you have control over 
those files/directories.
