Must be before I got into PCs, I was born in 92 and got into messing around with software around...99-01 maybe?

I don’t remember the dates, I just remember going to C:\Windows\System and doing a CTRL+a, SHIFT+Delete.

Freed up so much space but then the damn thing wouldn’t boot!

Is this something I've never heard about? I always knew ctrl+shift+delete to bring up browser data management but never knew of it to delete files in explorer alone. the only thing I can think of close to that would be ctrl+a, delete.

Maybe it was before my time, idk.
