Way back, 27 years ago I took /bin to be the location for deleted files, and moved everything I didn't need there.

And I always thought people doing that was an urban legend! :)

Worse, those directories didn't exist after formatting a floppy disk, so I painstakingly created the directories the manual advised on every data disk I created.

Who is asked to write the manual: The one who understands how things
