rm doesn’t prompt by default (unless you don‘t have write access to the file you want to delete), that part of the answer is dangerously wrong.

That's really strange. Do you have an alias for rm or something like that? If not, what's the exact prompt you get when deleting a normal file?

rm does not prompt by default (except in special cases, like files you don't have write permission to). If you want it to prompt, use rm -i.
