No, you can't just delete them, Windows reCreates them. For me, on my system, everything installs correctly; installers use logical paths, like %LocalAppData%. When I put %LocalAppData% in Explorer's address bar, "C:\__\Sys\AppData" shows up. My Desktop is "C:\__\Sys\AppData\Desktop"; it's empty/blank, I don't use it. > > Some are "poor" because they do _not_ stress over it (money). > > Certainly true for "some" - I know a few of these "some" people. > Nothing wrong with that. > > "The biggest cause of stress in America today" - Feb 2015 > Money continues to be the leading cause of > stress for Americans, a new survey finds. > http://www.cbsnews.com/news/the-biggest-cause-of-stress-in-america-today/ _Only_ if you want a "wife", I think.

If, on the other hand, I started a NetFlix thingy, charging money for it, without paying the content creators, my ass would be tossed in jail, and I'd be shut down. It's happened before, many times, recently. Those who do it anonymously, without fame or renumeration, don't get caught. They keep going, decade after decade. They work hard, helping people, without payment.
