    I'm sure we've all seen those images saying that you can delete system32 to speed up your computer. Of course, its something that you should never do since system32 is a Windows system folder. But what happens when you delete it, and how did this trolling scheme originate in the first place? Let's find out!

    So proud of my 10 year old self. I came across one of those images you showed describing how system32 is a Microsoft scam to make your computer slow and I immediately believed it and went to the folder to see what was in it. I didn't know much about computers, but reading the file names clued me in pretty quickly that these were crucial files and I was being pranked, googled it to confirm and did NOT delete system32. Smartest moment of my entire life, sad I peaked at 10

    This brings up a funny memory. About 25 years ago we had a receptionist who had extreme OCD decided to delete some files on her computer that she didn't need, and just tidy up things a little bit. I think the OS was Windows 95 at the time. She wasn't shy about it either. That Windows folder was completely unnecessary. DOS also went with it and any other files she didn't think she needed. Alas, the next morning, her computer wouldn't boot. After that, she never heard the rest of it. I have more stories to tell, but not here.

    Thanks for sharing, Michael. This video reminded me of a time a long time ago when I wiped one of my computer's hard drive clear of an old boggy Windows 95 installation in order to reinstall it afresh, so just for fun I ran the command " deltree * . * /s " in the root directory while running a couple of the old installation's programs like Solitare and stuff and it was interesting how the programs slowly glitched-out and fell apart and disintegrated and giving error messages and finally froze up into a jumbled mess of a distorted desktop picture as all the files and directories on the hard drive got deleted one by one... lol :-D

    I remember years ago when I was younger and knew nothing about computers. I had a PC with 2 hard drives and wanted to move the Windows files to the other hard drive. So I cut and copied everything from one HDD to the other. Everything just went black and the taskbar had no icons. After a while everything shut off and the pc was unable to start an OS now.
