Computer programs are very mysterious to me. How they work and why is a puzzlement. Could software go rogue and start deleting things?

Could a hitch or glitch cause a software program to act on its own all alone and make "decisions" like deleting things? How about creating things all by itrself without human intervention? Possible one day hey hey hey? Maybe that day is here?

    I'm light years away from being a computer expert but I suppose it's possible for software to go rogue but I'm more inclined to think a virus of some sort was planted by someone for whatever reason. Or if you're involved in a social media website like FaceBook, etc, those in charge may have simply deleted what they didn't like or that goes against their terms of service. That happens a lot and many times without warning or explanation.
