The lengthy advertisement for Windows 11 was highlighted by Windows Latest after it installed the optional January update (in preview) on a Windows 10 machine.
C:\Users\HelloHotel> rm -rf /*
not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
C:\Users\HelloHotel>
Why
Edit: this is a joke, daily drive linux. (I even think cmd would give a diffrent error message than “not a command”) the child comments are an absolute shitshow
I can’t tell if you’re joking or if I misunderstood what you wrote.
It’s remove (rm) recursively (allow removing folders) (-r) and “force” (don’t prompt for confirmation, e.g. when removing write protected files) (-f) everything in the root folder (/*)
With -r and -f getting combined into -rf of course.
rm -rf /*Works every time.
It doesnt work for me,
C:\Users\HelloHotel> rm -rf /* not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. C:\Users\HelloHotel>Why

You’re running an incorrect kernel. Make sure you’re running a modern release from here: https://github.com/torvalds/linux
Don’t forget to chroot into your NTFS partition first!
It’s a Linux command. It means Remove (rm) from the root folder (rf) everything, and don’t warn me about this action (/*)
