Keep in mind that the rm request can only delete files that have the
same permissions as the httpd user. This is why apache recommends
creating a bs account (httpd, acache, joeblow, etc.) to use to run the
httpd server. Almost all stock httpd configs use a bogus user (either
configged by a package, or a requirement if compililng from source), and
this wouldn't delete too much except www related files & perhaps some
config files.

/ will only get deleted if the httpd is being run as root
