Didn't even need to update the Finder -- just returning to Finder
from the Terminal showed the de-iconed folder.
It probably doesn't matter much in the era of 200GB drives, but
wouldn't this deletion technique leave an orphaned resource fork?
Wouldn't a Finder delete be more thorough?
Only if you're using a single-fork file system like UFS, which most
people don't. (On such file systems, the resource "fork" is faked
using an invisible second file.) If you're using HFS or HFS+, rm will
delete both forks.
