Python - remove Windows folder

Question

I'm messing around in VM Box. I wanted to delete Windows folder (C:\Windows). I tryed shutil.rmtree(), os.rmdir(), os.remove(), but still I got access denied. Is there anyway to do that, like Linux has force remove: rm -rf 'Windows'. Account has Admin Priv.

Answer 1

Active Admin Privs:

first of all, run CMD as Admin and type:

net user

the table will appear with users. Next check if real Admin is activated:

net user Administrator

and look for "ACCOUNT ACTIVE". If it says 'no', then use this command:

net user Administrator /active:yes

and make sure its acttive, so once again type net user Administrator. Now switch to that Admin and perform your commands in Python.

It's interesting experiment, I hope you don't code some malware :D
