    Removing Quarantined Items in Windows Security System, Windows 10


    Windows Security System quarantined some harmful items but did not remove them from my pc. Windows Security System did not request removal. How am I to go about removing them, as Windows Security System did not give a removal option in the quarantined section?

    Removing Quarantined Items in Windows Defender

    Windows Defender quarantined some harmful items but did not remove them from my pc. Windows Defender did not request removal. Should I just leave the items quarantined or remove them myself? If removal is recommended, how am I to go about

    doing so, as Windows Defender did not list the items in the Detect section where threats are placed for removal?

    [Original Title: Windows Defender]

    Removing Quarantined Items in Windows Defender

    When item is being placed in Quarantine, you are protected and they couldn't harm your PC. In addition, Quarantine items will be removed automatically after a while.

    You may remove them manually if you want to by opening Windows Defender and go to History tab and then select Quarantine and then click view all items and then remove.

    1. Open Microsoft Security Essentials or Windows Defender.
    2. Select the History tab.
    3. Select Quarantined items and then View details. You might be asked for an admin password or to confirm your choice.
    Once you have reviewed the quarantined items you can:

    • Select Remove all to delete all quarantined software.
    • Select individual files, and then select Remove or
      Restore      .
    • Select Quarantined items and then View details. You might be asked for an admin password or to confirm your choice.
    Most files detected by Microsoft security software are quarantined. This means the file is moved and stopped from running or doing anything to your PC.

    A quarantined file does not pose any risk to your PC. You can leave a file in quarantine for as long as you like.
