Me: I've close the program, now please delete the file

Windows: ok, give me half an hour, it's not easy to delete 500 MB

Oh you think because you closed the program it's released the file? Think again chump!

I did that once on my Macbook Air a while ago by mistake. The system's completely fucked and I had to reinstall it.
