It's a lot faster than pkg_delete. :-) Also, sometimes when you do the pkg_delete. There are a few directories and even a few files left over. The 'rm -rf' will never fail the task. Oh by the way, don't forget to back up your /usr/local/etc/* if you have tweaked any in there. I don't, so I don't have to worry any about it.
