Story time: In 1994 my friends dad still had a PC running DOS/Windows 3.1

My friend and I had been downloading pron clips from a local BBS that were all in a *.dl file format.

My friend got anxious his father would find the porn and he would get in trouble, so in a command line for DOS, he typed:

C:\> del *.dl

Which the computer read as del *.dl* which meant within seconds it was deleting every Dynamic Link Library on the PC, and in short order it crashed and then would not boot.

So yes, especially in older Windows systems, you could delete all kinds of shit to bork it.
