I need a second pair of eyes on this rm command

[ToddAndMargo]

Hi All,

I can delete these directories from any GIU file manager, but
not from the command line.

I think I am making a typo here, but I am not seeing it.  Would
you guys mind being a second pair of eyes for me?

$ rm -rf '/home/todd/.config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Default/Service 
Worker/CacheStorage/*'

$ ls -al '/home/todd/.config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Default/Service 
Worker/CacheStorage/'

A '*' wildcard inside quotes is not expanded. Use
    '/home/todd/.config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Default/Service Worker/CacheStorage/'*
The '-f' made the expected error not show:

$ mkdir zzzz
$ rm -rf 'zzzz/*'
$ rm -r  'zzzz/*'
rm: cannot remove 'zzzz/*': No such file or directory

And the (my) alternative is to use tab-completion to get the space escaped resulting in...

[egreshko@f30-k ~]$ ll .config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Default/Service\
Worker/CacheStorage/
total 4
drwx------. 2 egreshko egreshko 4096 Aug  1 12:48 3a6faf96138604257eb4b8adcb261bd5e4ab0f95

[egreshko@f30-k ~]$ rm -rf .config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Default/Service\
Worker/CacheStorage/*
