Hi, I'm not sure why you're asking how to stop. Can you not ^C (Ctrl-C) the running 'hadoop fs -rm' command and start over?
^C hadoop fs -rm -skipTrash /path hadoop fs -rm -skipTrash .Trash Also, please send user queries to the common-user@ group, not the common-dev@ group, which is for project development.
