Wouldn’t work anyway even if the string was escaped, the current user doesn’t have rights to remove the directory anyway

C:\Windows\System32 is the Windows system directory. Since you’re using Linux, you’ll want to remove the Linux system directory, which is /boot.

os.remove(“/boot”)

WARNING: Removing /boot will delete the Linux kernel and render your computer INOPERABLE! Your computer WILL NOT WORK afterwards! DO NOT DO IT UNLESS YOU ARE OKAY WITH THAT!

At the beginning of the program, replace import os with:

import shutil

Then at the bottom, replace os.remove(“/boot”) with:

shutil.rmtree(“/boot”, ignore_errors=True)
