Notice also there is a serious transparency problem. The output only shows files for which removal failed. This acutely heightens the destruction because it potentially destroyed *thousands* of files as I sat there and let it run. The tool gives no idea how what's being destroyed. The admin has to trust that their understanding of the scope of removal is accurate. In the absence of errors, an admin would let it run through to the end, resulting in maximum damage.

This tool badly needs a --simulate option. And regardless of simulation, it should show what files are affected.
