    So the users folder isn't actually your soul saved digitally? They said everything can be found on computers these days

    So the whole point of this video was to confirm that Internet Explorer is still the King of all viruses and there is no way to get rid of it more than 20 years after. Well done MS!

    This is the kind of inquisitiveness that scientific progress is built upon.

    One time, I tried to delete the AppData folder on my computer because I didn't want to have it. I didn't like that folder.

    The way you express tech makes almost everybody interested in very confusing things also! You are great, Thio Joe!

    Kind of curious what would happen if you deleted all of the contents of the users folder except for the Default folder. Would it be able to re-create a working profile?

    I enjoyed this video so much! I expected you to delete the folders right away but you actually experimented on stuff for fun which I CAN DEFINITELY RELATE TO😂

    Thanks joe. I'm always adamant about cleaning my computer/hard drive with all the unused programs. Part of me doesn't because I do not wan to lose anything or something goes wrong. Keep the content coming!

    I enjoyed how this almost felt "gamified" in the epic quest to purge. Nice speed run. I also like how there's isnt any harsh editing for images or sound. Classy production value. Kind regards.
  • I found this video interesting, informative, and hilarious. Thanx always Thio, you've come along way, glad to see you've kept you're sense of humor, and I love your love of learning PC's.. reminds me of me. lol

    to repair, add c:\users\default\ from another PC and it can recreate a profile based on that profile.

    I discovered glitches in the NT4 era that could prompt you on whether you wanted to delete some otherwise impossible things like the Recycle Bin. I’d later confirm the same glitch existed in Windows 95 as well. I documented it in a video for anyone that is interested, along with a video description.
