A system file is any file that, as its name indicates, is necessary to operate this . They are really important and, therefore, require a very differentiation from the rest , for which the system file extension is used.
This is the nomenclature we give each of these files to be able to differentiate them . Its importance is such that if we move them, modify or, obviously, eliminate, our OS will work badly and may even stop doing so.
