    NEVER run a command you don’t know the purpose of. That being said, “sfc” stands for “System File Checker.” It is a utility that can help restore corrupted windows files. sfc /scannow checks your protected files and restores corrupted files from a local cache. The process can take some time and you MUST let it finish it’s entirely.

    In conclusion, this command is generally safe to run.

      Rm stands for remove

      -fr stands for the French language

      / stands for your entire system

      Don’t trust random internet strangers either

        So it’s removing French from your system. Sounds like a useful tool on Linux if you don’t speak French! Be sure to run as sudo though
