if you were trying to be sarcastic in saying this is
"normal, any dummy knows that"  then you failed
horrendously, sir.
where did the delete command came from ????
this has nothing to do with any system command
it was simply an odd behavior where by ">" piping
output of a file into itself, causes a 0 byte or corrupted file
C:>del.exe >del.exe
in particular, executeable files.
