How do I destroy my computer?

[Estiar]

I want to fool around with destroying my windows VM. Unfortunately, (or fortunately for everyone else) it's not as simple as going into file explorer, going to system32 and deleting files. How would I go about doing that? (Powershell/cmd answers appreciated)

 

:WARNING: Don't try this unless you know your important data is safe. If someone is giving you advice to delete files in system32, they're likely trolling you.

  • Type in the following command:

  takeown /f C:\Windows\System32

  This will give you ownership of the Sys32 folder.

  • Type in the following to gain file permissions of Sys32:

  cacls C:\Windows\System32

  • Close the Command Prompt as well as any other running programs.
  • Then open the C:\ drive under My Computer folder.
  • Find the System32 folder and delete the files or the entire folder.

Guys its a VM, all those physical suggestions aren't going to work here.

Are there any other folders that are critical for Windows to run? (maybe syswow64)
