Me: I've close the program, now please delete the file
Windows: ok, give me half an hour, it's not easy to delete 500 MB
Here's an incredibly animated chart of how poorly I'm doing. Note that I seem to throttle the operation every 5 seconds or so.
Explanation? No, no. Haha. No. We don't do anything like that.
... And the file is back open somehow. Only now the program throws an error when Windows launches, yet still leeches resources.
Oh you think because you closed the program it's released the file? Think again chump!
Hey Linux, sudo rm -rf /
sigh I'm surrounded by idiots.
"Sure thing boss" you fucking moron.
I did that once on my Macbook Air a while ago by mistake. The system's completely fucked and I had to reinstall it.
what? never had this happen and I don't see how you would. deleting is not a size dependent process, it just marks the file as deleted.
