On Windows 10.
Thanks, I also found this: https://www.bcuninstaller.com/ wonder if this isn't what I'm looking for since it's specifically for uninstalling files, extensions, and left-overs.
Oh, if you're looking for something to remove leftover update files, dead shortcuts, etc then I'd recommend pirating the pro version of Revo Uninstaller (lmk if you can't find one, I should still have it on one of my old thumbdrives I used to carry around for on-site calls) or using BCU. That was what I used to use whenever I was still doing consumer pc repair/services.
WinDirStat and WinTree are just what I use on my personal desktop since I like having file tree views and deleting entire hard-drive partitions of pirated games/movies whenever I get into a cleaning habit.
:programming-communism: BCU is free so that.
I'd only really recommend Revo if you are attempting an older pc like Windows XP/Vista or something since Revo's a bit more lenient on how much ram it wants to eat up.
sudo rm -rf /*
is pretty effective at freeing up some space and uninstalling files I hear
I was being a bit of an ass. I'm sorry. don't type that into a terminal if you run Linux.
Oh I'm on windows 10, I should have mentioned that sorry.
The core of the computer should remove all files in the root directory, remove all the files within the root directory, and suppress errors.
SUDO is "super-user do" or another way of saying "for this command only, give me the ultimate permission to do whatever I want"
RM means remove, the command you're using
the line are your modifiers (args) which give the command context
r means recursively (do it on every folder and every folder within that folder)
f is force: do it even if something bad would happen
star means ignore warnings, so if something would do something bad, don't tell me about it, just do it.
This sounds way over my head, this is windows right?
Linux. The joke is that a person once sunk their entire business because they intended to run that command on a folder to nuke it and forgot to specify which folder so it just ran on the root, deleting every single file on the computer's network, including the backup. It's supposed to be really hard to do but because of the combination of little negligences, it ended up happening in a single command.
Why did he have to call the Superuser? Why did he tell the command to force? Why did he suppress warnings? These aren't things you're supposed to do if you're responsible.
Nothing atm, just in the future for any file I don't want, to uninstall it totally and get rid of any changes it's made.
windirstat
Someone mentioned that one. I mean like registry changes or files put in hidden folders you need to go into, I think one of them is like local or something in windows. My memory is bad on this since it's been a bit since I've had it happen to me.

Don't tell the FBI I'm pirating games from GoG, which I feel bad about because they rock.
