I did run it to start with without the ---no-r and without redirecting the 
output.  The output I got on my terminal was a load of lines like:

.f...p..... pictures/ties-scoring-example.png

and I was concerned that this meant that those files would be deleted, so I 
thought it better to restrict it to the root directory.  I now understand 
the output a bit better.  I've since repeated it with the recurse option 
with the result attached.  As you see, it would delete a lot of files we 
want to keep (examples) but it could be possible to use its output as a 
guide for manual deletion?
