NEVER run a command you don't know the purpose of. That being said, "sfc" stands for "System File Checker." It is a utility that can help restore corrupted windows files.
sfc /scannowchecks your protected files and restores corrupted files from a local cache. The process can take some time and you MUST let it finish it's entirely.In conclusion, this command is generally safe to run.
Rm stands for remove
-fr stands for the French language
/ stands for your entire system
Don’t trust random internet strangers either
So it's removing French from your system. Sounds like a useful tool on Linux if you don't speak French! Be sure to run as sudo though
Don't forget the
--no-preserve-rooteither. If you leave the roots intact, the French will just grow right backI prefer the 'ole $sudo dd -i /dev/random -o /dev/sda
