Or run "ls ..." first, then uparrow and replace the ls with the rm.
Or use a graphical file manager. Krusader not only lets you see what you're
deleting while you're selecting it, it also prompts you for confirmation,
presenting the list of the files and/or directories you're deleting again (i.e.
it implicitly does the ls).

Graphical file manager? That isn't the *nix way of doing things. :)
And the -f in the rm command it to stop the "Confirm delete?" questions.
My rm is set to confirm all deletes using alias.
