Something about System 32

death90055 · Oct 2, 2014

So I was having some lag issues and asked my friend who knows a lot about computers. He guided me through how to delete system 32, a basically worthless file he said. He said it's usually a virus and it's probably the cause of the lag. So I deleted it and now my computer is having issues booting up. Not sure what's going on.

Your friend is, no insult intended, an idiot.

The System32 folder contains essential parts of a Windows OS. Doubtful you can 'fix it', apart from just doing a full reinstall.

Oh.. Anything you'd recommend me doing?

1. Reinstall the OS
2. Don't listen to him again

Looking in my Windows 8.1 /Windows/System32/ folder, there is 3.91GB....20,605 files.

If you actually managed to delete that folder, a full reinstall is probably needed.

Yea, it took awhile to delete, but I managed to do it.

As said, I don't think you can 'fix it'.
Reinstall.

USAFRet · Oct 2, 2014

Well, maybe 'fix it' with a Restore Point.
Maybe.

My friend told me to open the case and clean it out with a moist towelette, because it's probably dusty.

USAFRet · Oct 2, 2014

OK, you got me.
Ha ha.

USAFRet :

What? I'm being serious. I'm not going to do it, but that's what he said.
