Actually, you can’t, not by normal means anyway. For starters, there’s the Windows File Protection (WFP) which automatically restores any deleted essential system files, and there’s also the Windows Resource Protection (WRP), which prevents you from even attempting to delete those files. There are ways you can get around it of course, but even still, you can’t delete files which are in use, which means you still wouldn’t be able to delete the system32 folder.
The only way to actually delete it completely, would be to boot from a second OS or a rescue environment and then delete the folder.
