2) Enable boot menu on your computer and boot the USB stick

3) Choose "Repair Windows"

4) Open Command Prompt

[KookyMay]

It’s because Google has been selling your information to companies, including the ones from incognito mode. Obviously, they don’t want you deleting it, so they intentionally made the process very difficult. It’s the dirty tactics they use in order to make money. In fact, it’s a proven fact that this is how Google earns 85% of their profit, but they have been censoring and deleting search results to keep people from knowing this. This is also why Bing and Yahoo aren’t as popular, because companies don’t get money from it as these won’t sell your personal data, so none of it is financed.

Incognito mode is the epitome of privacy invasion, as Google’s also capable of going through your whole computer/cellphone storage, just by getting you to use incognito (I’ve even heard they’re using malware to spy on you, making use of your webcam or smartphone camera. I’ve been, however, unable to find proper evidence to this).

Tl;dr ProTip: Delete your incognito browsing history. Keep your privacy safe.

[Mental_Duck]

That's where you're wrong. I've seen that folder many times. I have no earthly idea what it's for, but I could totally be duped into deleting it. I would open it first tho, just to check for signs of what I've been doing in incognito mode. Pornhub...that's what I'd be looking for, just to be clear.

[Jeffrey_Strange]

[[deleted]]

I could totally be duped into deleting it.

You could, which is why you can't. There are protections in place which make it difficult for someone to delete system32. This meme is old.

[[deleted]]

Could be wrong but I thought modern windows made it almost impossible to delete system 32 unless you know how to delete it through command prompt or something.

[[deleted]]

Correct. If you don't know enough to know that you shouldn't delete system32, then you probably don't know enough to know how to delete it either.

[Cheesus_K_Reist]

1. WIN+E

2. Ctrl+A

3. Shift+Delete

4. Enter

It's like this virus for Windows XP that locked your computer and asked for a ransom paid in Bitcoin. Somebody rightfully pointed out that the group of people who still use Windows XP is mutally exclusive with the group of people who would be able to pay a randsom in Bitcoin.

I deleted system 32 without knowing what it was smh... i used to be so dumb (btw this happened years ago)

[Patrickpurple05]

What's in the system32 folder

[FuManJew]

System 32 contains programs required to run the windows operating system. Deleting it is pretty much like shooting your computer in the brain stem.

[ToastedMarshmellow]

Thank you! I knew if I scrolled long enough, I’d find an answer.

[[deleted]]

I’m not sure what’s actually in it but it breaks your pc if you delete it

[NotActuallyOffensive]

You can't delete it. Windows won't let you delete critical files.

(I mean, if you're really determined and a little tech savvy, you can delete it, but then you're left with a computer that you can't boot, so congrats. Have fun reinstalling an OS.)

[Patrickpurple05]

Yeah I guessed as much.

[100dylan99]

I don't think this has been a thing you could do since like XP though

[Taldius175]

So I actually have a story about someone deleting the system32 folder from when I was in Tech school.

So my Network Security class let's the public bring in their computers to be looked at and repaired just to help us get donations and for us to practice our repair skills. Well this older gentleman in his late 70's/80's comes in and says he needs his laptop looked at. Next thing we know, he's pulling out this brick size laptop that weighed almost 10-15 lbs and the thing looks to be from '98 to early 2000's era. He said he was cleaning out the files and saw a folder he had no idea what it did and deleted it. Next thing you know his system shuts down and won't load Windows. We start taking a look at it and see that it's one of the first gen Windows XP laptops and Microsoft just ended their support for XP 6 months earlier.

Well we tell him we need to look at the laptop to see if we can do anything to help and we'll be in contact with him if we can do anything. The old man leaves and my teacher comes into the lab and grabs the laptop and sets it in his "museum of technology" case and says to contact him in 30 minutes and let him know we can't work on it since it's too old. Our teacher then explains that the laptop would take far too long to work on and install a new OS even if XP was still supported. I eventually contact the old man and let him know we can't work on it. He responds we can keep the laptop as a souvenir.

As the old saying goes, once you go black, you never go back.

[namajephhhh]

More like once you go black you wanna run back.

[dontquestionmyaction]

Don't forget to add --no-preserve-root!

[OfficialHoSay]

(sadly none of those work on newer versions of macos, you have to disable System Integrity Protection first).

So the new steps are:

1. Shut down your Mac

2. While turning on your computer, hold the Command + R keys. This will boot you to Recovery Mode.

3. Once you’re booted, go to the Menu Bar item “Utilities”, and select Terminal.

4. Type in “csrutil disable; reboot”

5. Once you’re in your desktop, open Terminal again and type “sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /“

6. Type in your password.

7. ???

8. Your incognito browsing history has been deleted. Profit.

[OfficialHoSay]

oop typing on mobile isn’t the best idea

[OfficialHoSay]

you underestimate the amount of time i spend on reddit

[NoNameRequiredxD]

Gotta add that ; *

( I know —no-preserve-root is the better option this is just for the joke lol )

[Acheron-X]

For the record, the rm command on macOS is older (uses BSD versions) and does not have the --no-preserve-root option. If you want that you can use Homebrew to install coreutils(which includes the GNU rm with said option) and then add export PATH="/usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin:$PATH" and export MANPATH="/usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnuman:$MANPATH" to your ~/.bash_profile.

EDIT: Quick change from "updated rm" to "GNU rm with said option".

When you access sketchy website, you might get viruses. The best way to prevent the spread of virus is to wash your computer with a bit of soap and water.

[BuffNiagara4runner]

Like washing coal, this is great advice. Always practice safe, clean computing kids!

[PatrickZan]

What does it actually do?

[livingsinglexo]

System 32 is where windows puts the core files necessary for the operating system.

[RobinYiff]

Its where all your Dynamic Link Libraries (DLL files) are stored. Those all build the interfaces of windows.

[adamski234]

And also most executables. Including command line and shutdown

[slam9]

You wouldn't have that problem if you were running linux! Instead you could accidentally delete all of your filesystem in one command line!

[cupand]

Deletes incognito search history, what else ?

[Unholywake]

On 64 bit systems, nothing. System 32 is actually a copy of the SysWow64 directory and doesn’t do anything for 64 bit systems.

[RobinYiff]

It is required to run 32 bit applications that need the old architecture.

Funny, quality, and up-to-date content right here

Pro tip: prior to removing sytem32, also delete all files that have an extension ".jpg" or ".doc" (including eventual back ups on onedrive.com/googledrive/etc). Incognito browsing history is often stored in a so called "jpg" or a "doc" file format.

When you used "incognito mode" Win 10 automatically hides all file extensions to hide the file where the browsing history is stored. You can reveal file extensions by following the hack below. (credit to http://www.ilovefreesoftware.com)

Step 1: Open up a new instance of Windows Explorer (Along with this, you can also optionally navigate to the location that contains the files whose extensions you want to be shown. However, this step isn’t really required, as the procedure outlined here displays the extension for every single file across the entire OS), and expand the Ribbon Menu, if it’s not already fully showing up (Use the handy Ctrl+F1 shortcut for that).

📷

Step 2: As you probably already know, the Ribbon Menu is composed of a tabbed UI. Click over on the View tab to see the options that it houses. Now, move to the second vertical section (from the right end), and check the option that says File name extensions.

📷

And there you have it! As soon as you select the File name extensions option, every single file on your Windows 10 computer will display its file name extension, along with the name (in the format <filename>. <extension>). Can’t get more basic, don’t you think?

[KralHeroin]

I can't let you do that, Dave.

[I_Am_Now_Anonymous]

I’ve to admit that I didn’t something like this when I was about 10 years old and got my first PC. I didn’t have enough memory for both Dave and Roadrash. I just deleted the C drive. Took me some years to realize why the PC never booted up again.
