Windows 10: A VIRUS ATE LOTS OF MY DISK SPACE!!!!

SO i was using winrar, and for some reason it says i dont have enough space, the download in winrar was 45 gb, before i used winrar i checked how much space i had and i had 190 gb, during the extraction i get a error saying no disk space, but i should have some disk space, I've deleted all viruses, I've used ccleaner, I've used antiviruses, and for some reason im still not getting my space back, ive tried using the defrag tool and that didnt work.
