If you're going for cli, windows also can do rm -r -Force

[–] Diplomjodler@feddit.de 20 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Or just do Shift Delete in Explorer.

[–] eatham@aussie.zone 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You can do that?

[–] Diplomjodler@feddit.de 15 points 5 months ago

Yes. Place finger on key and press lightly downward. ;)

[–] Hupf@feddit.de 15 points 5 months ago

Yeah, but get this! It's not enough to just envoke cmd in Windows with just Win+R (sorry, sorry... Super+R 😁), even though you're invoking it from an admin account, no sir, it's still just a plain user as long as cmd is concerned 😂.

And this is what you get when you wanna do backwards compatibility all the way down to DOS 😂.

We have pretty good backwards compatibility too, to my knowledge it's actually better.

[–] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

My point was, MS has backwards compatibility all the way down to an OS that has no sense of users and permissions and that is why Windows, even nowadays, has these problems. If you get rid of the DOS legacy stuff, you can have decent user permission and security in place, but too much shit relies on legacy code, so they keep it.
