    Windows Security keeps detect threatening file that no longer exists


    I had a file in my download folder, that had been recognized as a threat by the windows defender.It was part os some modding I was doing. I deleted it, as soon as I was no longer using it, because I have very little disk-space.The Windows Defender keeps detecting this file that no longer exists as a threat.No matter which of the three courses of action I pick, the file immediately gets picked up again.I already tried using the disc cleaner funktion as was recommended by the most similar thread I could find, though there the file in question was an empty file with low threat.
