Have you ever just been looking around your machine and thought, 'I haven't used that in ages. Delete!'
So you tell your OS to delete the thing and it comesback with one of the following messages:
'Only system admin may edit this file.' (Even though you're the only person who has ever used this system)
'Cannot delete as the program is currently in use.' (And you un-installed it months ago.)
'This file is read only.' (Even though the 'Read Only' box isn't checked.)
Why can't they make an OS that just deletes a file regardless. All I want is a message saying "Are you sure?" just in case i lean on the delete key whilst trying to access my internet browser.
That would make viruses so much easier to remove. I'm sure you've suffered the programs that install them selves, and even though you've got several anti-ware programs targeting it, it re-appears half an hour later and re-boots your machine without warning.
Personally I believe that the OS designers should let us delete whatever we want. Even if it does run the risk of removing the OS it's self because someone clicked the wrong icon when on a clean out session...
