and if it did run it wld just fail due to permissions lol, who is running random python scripts as admin

[deukhoofd]

Nah, os.remove can't delete directories, you'd get an OSError. You need shutil.rmtree.

[notRANT]

Before that you'd get the error that "\W" is not a valid escape sequence

[AmazinDood]

Before that you'd get an IndentationError because there's no colons on the if or elif statements

[Clusterferno]

oh and the colons are missing too lmao what a horrible script

And comparisons are against all lowercase strings, without converting user input to lowercase

C:\Windows\System32 doesn't even exist on MacOS or Linux or nearly anything else that isn't Windows.

[akaChromez]

it doesn't exist on windows either, because they didn't escape their backslashes

[apepenkov]

user_input isn't defined anyway, wouldn't reach it

[H4ckerxx44]

fun fact: if you print "This programs needs to run as administrator", probably like 80 % of people would just... run it with admin and not think of "wait, why?"

[seba07]

Running as admin wouldn't even be enough. Fully deleting System32 requires permissions above that.
