Deleting System 32

So, if your not familiar with System 32 it's a crucial component of the computer. Trolls claim it's a virus and if you delete it, it will make your computer faster. In reality, it will screw up your computer.

 

Now, I'm not exactly sure what this does. Does it ruin OS? I'm pretty sure a reinstall of windows would work to fix it. Didn't happen to me just wondering.

"didn't happen" 

sure

Every file is used to run windows in the windows folder

System32

just has "more" "important" files for running windows.

lel. I also didn't put butter on my computer.

 

Wondering if a clean install would work. Will it?

What do you mean?

Not like you can even delete system32... Windows won't let you. You'd need to boot on Linux or something to delete it.

You can, but you have to do a bunch of other commands first

It's just like any other software. You delete it's core components, it will fail to work. Then reinstalling will put them back. Before any computer had windows installed, the hard drive was empty. You just need a blank hard drive to install the OS. It's not like you delete the folder, look inside your computer and find your graphics card missing :P

System32 Sounds like a bad virus.

Nvidia is to Dr Dre Beets as AMD is to KFC.

One makes you broke, the other you can get more of and have a midnight snack from the fridge when hungry again. Once you go Nvidia, you go broked, turn into an Elitist, or get the incorrect amount of VRAM.

 I was only 9 years old. I loved Fifflaren so much, I had all the NiP merchandise and matches pirated. I prayed to Fifflaren every night before bed. Thanking him for the life I have been given. Fifflaren is love I say. Fifflaren is life. My dad hears and calls me a fuckhead. I knew he was just jelly of my passion for Fifflaren. I called him a Sw@yer. He hits me and sends me to go to sleep. I'm crying now, and my face hurts. I lay in bed and it's really cold. A warmth is moving towards me. I feel someone touching me. I feel someone touching me. It's Fifflaren. I am so happy. He whispers in my ear; "this is my pyjama". He grabs me with his powerful Swedish hands and puts me on my hands and knees. I'm ready. I spread my ass cheeks for Fifflaren. He penetrates my butt-hole. It hurts so much but I do it for Fifflaren. I can feel my butt tearing as my eyes start to water. I push against his force. I want to please Fifflaren. He roars a viking roar as he fills my butt with his love. My dad walks in. Fifflaren looks straight into his eyes and says; "He is a ninja now". Fifflaren is love, Fifflaren is life

You cannot delete System32... well it will be a serious pain to try to.

You need to need to be outside of Windows to be able to do so (easy way), within Windows will block you from doing so.

Plus you cannot delete files you are already using.

So the joke is stupid.
