      Me, being in IT for over 20 years, I've seen a end user actually do this at a company I once worked at.
      This was back in the days of Windows 95! Due to that, back then, hard drive capacities were so small (i.e. 250 MB, etc...) Hard drive space was always a challenge to maintain. So I made the mistake, back then, to instruct a end user that when they feel their hard drive is running out of space, to delete all the temp files and folders that they are not using so the computer won't crash.
      Well, unbeknownst to me I never thought a user would delete the Windows folder. I Thought they knew what this folder was for. Unfortunately, they didn't and one day when I was coming into work, my pager (yes, PAGER!) was blowing up.
      When I got to work, the user told me that the computer wouldn't boot. After scavenging for the Windows boot floppy disks (yes, THAT'S FLOPPY DISKS! LOL) when I got into the command prompt, I noticed the Windows folder was missing. I asked the end user where it went, "SHE" told me that she never used that folder and so she deleted it to gain some more space on the computer, but then the computer blue screen'd on her and crashed! LOL
      I never made that mistake again on informing end users to delete anything from their computers!! LOL

    • Did you make sure to take ownership of the files before granting write/delete permissions?
    • If you recycle, then of course it will slow down; it will get very slow as the bin fills with more and more items which it has to keep track of. You should have deleted them instead of recycling. Moreover, if they're recycled instead of deleted, the files still exist and will continue to be used in-memory, so it only _looks_ like they've been deleted.

      Well you can't actually do anything to the root folders on the C: drive (or wherever windows in is installed), because by default you don't have access to them. And the average idiot won't know how to get access. Also any attempt at making devices more closed is a terrible idea for people who actually know what they're doing. I hate you can't do shit with smartphones because they're so locked down.
