Sounds like an stty setting mismatch to me. If your backspace is not
mapped to the terminals' erase, then rm sees the three-character literal
string "y\177n" rather than the one-character string "n". POSIX requires
that rm must parse a leading "y" in the response as yes, even if followed
by a backspace leaked through by improper terminal settings.
At any rate, I'm glad that you seemed to resolve it, according to your
followup message.
