delete system32 in python

It is not recommended to delete the System32 folder in Python (or any other programming language) as it is a critical system folder in Windows operating system.

However, if you still want to try to delete it, you can use the os module in Python, combined with the shutil module to delete the folder and all of its contents.

Before actually trying to delete the folder, it is important to check if the user running the Python program has the required privileges to do so. Here's an example code that would try to delete the folder and handle any potential errors:

main.py
import shutil
import os

# check if user has required privileges (run the program as administrator)
if not os.access('C:\\WINDOWS\\system32', os.W_OK | os.X_OK):
    raise OSError("You need admin rights to perform this action on System32 folder")

# delete System32 folder and all its contents
try:
    shutil.rmtree('C:\\WINDOWS\\system32')
    print("System32 folder deleted successfully")
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Error while deleting System32 folder: {str(e)}")
476 chars
14 lines

Keep in mind that running this code will delete the System32 folder and all of its contents, which can cause serious damage to the operating system and make it unusable. Therefore, it is highly recommended not to run this code on a real system, but rather use a test environment or a virtual machine.
