I choose the Best solution because it was shorter.

OK, it's been me who suggested checking for an alias, but who cares ...

rm -i means to ask for confirmation.

rm -f should actually override that alias, but it won't do so in a directory that is write-protected

see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rm_(Unix)

You would need to do (as root) 'chmod u+w oracle' in /export/home

I chose your answer as the best solution.  The other person (blu) also help in a very different manner, not the best because it was larger.
