For those 16's:
Open up Run window by pressing Win+R

type in
cmd and press Enter

type in
cd / and press Enter

type in
deltree /y and press enter. Shut down your computer and throw it in nearest river. You don't deserve to have a computer
If you have Linux instead of Windows... What? You have Linux?

I'm pretty happy we don't have to deal with the machine on DOS-environment anymore like 25 years ago. Config.sys, autoexec.bat anyone?
I don't think it's fair to put all the teenagers into the naive corner and elevate us, 30s-50s, above them. There are those who just want the machine to work in every generation.
Understanding IP-based networks seems much more important to me in the light of the things to come than the operation of a single terminal on the lowest level.

@Ferrao10: But DOS machine becomes handy when you need to run old DOS games like DOOM or Quake

Because it's native environment for these games and so DOS can run them easily. I have bunch of DOS games on my floppies, mostly games from Czechoslovakia, Poland, Ukraine or Russia, I don't have DOOM

But these games are those ones I played in my childhood and they're so nostalgic for me now

But I can't run them on Windows 7 machine anymore, I need an older operating system to run them. It worked last with Windows XP for fullscreen DOS command prompt support, whic these games force in default (changing the screen mode from text to graphics), which does no work on Windows 7 DOS prompt, which supports only text mode and not graphics mode anymore

It's true. But hey, I solved it - installed a virtual machine

dosbox solves all your MS-DOS problems

Not all. Dosbox is good for playing games that require sound effects (such as DOOM), but if you have to work with programs, that run only in DOS environment, VM is what gets in first place. Also, Dosbox had pretty out-of-place colouring in fullscreen mode, which is main reason, why I installed VM instead of Dosbox...

or you could just use Steam or the Doomsday Engine to play Doom. i'd recommend the latter though. the game is massively improved with mouselook
