ctrl alt delete
Reboot key combo
Ctrl Alt Delete is a keyboard combination on Windows computers, pressed simultaneously to interrupt processes or access system functions.
Originally a way to reboot a frozen computer, it now typically opens a menu for Task Manager, locking the screen, or signing out.
Figuratively, to ctrl alt delete something is to force-quit or reset it: I need to ctrl alt delete this whole day and start over.
