I mean, there's a reason they don't let you delete system32 anymore

It's like one of the earliest troubleshooting joke memes. It just so happens people actually did that, and not because they wanted to do that.

But like on earlier versions of Windows you could absolutely delete any folder on the drive. I think there's even a story about an uninstaller that accidentally deleted the entire root of the drive because it wasn't written correctly.

Sadly that still happens from time to time on both windows and Linux. Minecraft dungeons was the last I remember

"Deltree C:\ . /Y" I think it was.

The solution should be restricting such actions to root/admin, not preventing them entirely though.
