    C drive keeps have 2 folders created and I have no idea from what


    Windows 10


    These 2 folders keep getting created after I delete them. (The names are random but always start with the same 2 digits [ie _b and AC])


    See picture

    Inside both folders they create garbage files (Again random files)

    I've tried CCleaner, malwarebytes, Windows defender, Avant, BitDefender and nothing finds anything wrong


    also did a sfc /scannow and found nothing


    Does anybody have any idea what is generating these folders and files?

    :)
