Deletes all the files in the root-dir recursively (needs sudo).
Without sudo all user-accessible files will be removed.
This will also affect all mounted drives (like USB-Drives, ...) and on some motherbords can also corrupt the UEFI.

If the UEFI is corrupted is there a way to even boot a Live Environment?

If you run a faulty UEFI-implementation then rm can turn you PC into a decorative pice of PCB.
