    Do I have a virus?


    The system files on my laptop is over 300GB and taking up my entire disc space. Every time I’ve deleted something to try and make space, it gets filled up and added to system files so that I never have any space available on my laptop. I don’t know what to do, I’ve tried everything. I can’t even run many commands because I don’t have disc space. And I can’t create disc space. Do I have a virus? Or a corrupted file?

    :)

    Clean the Virus

    Hi,

    Virus infection usually happens on a computer when it is exposed to an infected website or removable devices. For us to help you clean the malware on your device, we would need you to answer the following questions:

    • Which build and version of Windows are you using?
    • Did you encounter any error messages related to having a virus infection on your device?
    • What are the troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    In the meantime, we suggest running any available antivirus software on your PC. It would be very helpful to us if you could also provide the result of the antivirus scan process.

    Looking forward to your response.

    Follow the steps here.

    If it is not listed in the Control Panel, or it can't be removed there, move on to step 2. You might be able to skip the step with HitmanPro. (30 day free trial if needed)
