Every time I do it.
When using a command like that, I usually check it with ls first, then
modify the command.
eg.
ls -l *.dbf
If that gets the expected results, I will then call up the command line
history and replace the 'ls -l'=20
with 'rm -f'.
This not only ensures the results are what I expect, but avoids fat fingering that occur if the entire command is retyped:
eg. rm -f * .dbf
Notice the space between * and .dbf.
