Must be cuz of Friday the 13th…
Thank you thank you, I’ve managed to create a directory inside itself!
This lovely feat was made possible by a malformed Robocopy command. The screenshot above is as far as windows explorer lets me go. If I try to delete the folder, I get this message:
Smooooth. Now, how do I get out of this mess?
- rmdir /S
- del /F
- rm -f (*nix only, just thought I’d try for giggles)

rm -f /
f-disk.
Pray.
Ouch! Umm, walk under a ladder. Maybe it’ll reverse the effects and give the bad luck bad luck, which leaves you with a net value of good luck.
I was gonna say rm -r /path/to/top/level, but sean beat me to it.
One simply must love an error that suggests ‘Try another command.’
Don’t listen to the Doctor. It’ll give you an infinite series of good/bad luck reversals to match your infinite series of folders you made yourself.
I did this in the 3rd grade. I thought I had accomplished something new an innovative:
INFINITE HARDDRIVE SPACE!!!
p.s. I was wrong…
