system file
Core software document
A system file is a computer file essential to the operating system's functioning—configuration data, drivers, or core program components.
These files are typically hidden from ordinary users to prevent accidental deletion or modification: Don't delete system files unless you know what you're doing.
Corrupting a system file can render a computer unbootable.
