Ah, the classic tale of the tech-illiterate conspiracy theorist who thinks they've uncovered the grand Microsoft deception. System32 is literally just the core Windows directory containing critical system files—delete it and congratulations, you've bricked your computer! The December 31, 1969 date is actually Unix epoch time (January 1, 1970 UTC) minus a timezone offset—basically the computer equivalent of "the beginning of time." It's what systems show when a file has no valid timestamp. But sure, go ahead and "save yourself 700kb" by deleting essential system files. I'm sure your computer will run so much faster in its new state as an expensive paperweight.
