The "system32" folder contains many of the vital files needed to run the operating system in Windows. You will likely have to reinstall your version of Windows to restore operation, and many files may become unavailable.

It is a good idea never to permanently delete any system files. They are recorded in the Registry, so even restoring them might not undo the damage.
