What's the consequence if we use rm -rf /* in WSL?

[sunmy2019]

We know in Liunx, we can delete files while using it. Also in WSL, we can access Windows files. What if we use rm -rf /* in WSL or WSL2? Will the Windows files be deleted?

I don't dare to try, but am really curious.

If the user who has executed System32/wsl.exe or System32/bash.exe has the permission to delete the Windows files and folders only then those will be deleted. Which in case is true most of the times.
