Instead of `alias rm="rm –I"` for the confirmation dialog before removing a file, I prefer to use trash-cli[0] since I can restore trashed files.

However, I haven't found a similar solution that works on Termux.

I do the same. My alias for rm just echos "use trash" so I don't replace its function, just disable it.

When I really need to use rm I type /bin/rm.

Bash also allows you to use \rm to override the alias. Comes in helpful at times.
On a per directory basis...

     % touch -- -i
     % touch foo
     % touch bar
     % rm *
    zsh: sure you want to delete all 3 files in /Users/shagie/test [yn]? y
    remove bar? y
    remove foo? y
     % ls 
    -i
     %
