Did this as a kid 600mb folder I needed space for quake
but that is where the 1TB “system files” folder is
It’s an unnecessary folder if you’re running 64-bit.

Gonna have to bust out the good old carbon dating kit for this meme
Instructions unclear. Using Linux.
Wait a sec I think I found it.
If you don’t have system32, it’s fine to delete one from the store
Or find another computer and delete it from that.
It’s the /etc folder in linux. Just extra crap you don’t need.

Now I need to fix dad’s laptop before he gets home!
system32 is legacy crap anyways and is not used anymore. Everything important is stored in system64
