Skyrim manages the incredibly complex inventory systems of countless non-player characters and shopkeepers by utilizing an invisible, subterranean trash disposal method that players were never meant to discover. Whenever a merchant's inventory needs to reset or items are removed from the game world, the Bethesda engine simply teleports those discarded assets into a hidden box owned by a literal, inaccessible character named Do Not Delete who is permanently trapped beneath the floorboards of the map. If you use console commands to clip through the ground, you can actually rob this mystical garbage deity of his hoarded wealth, beautifully demonstrating that even in a magical fantasy realm filled with majestic dragons and ancient spells, the universe still relies on a completely unhinged janitor hiding in the basement to keep society functioning properly
