Hi,
I have recently reset Windows 10 by using the option in the control panel (my laptop only has 20GB of memory so it fills up fast and it is hard to get rid of the temp files).
So when I was reinstalling the limited amount of programs I had I noticed these files and folders appearing on the root of my external drive and try as I might I cant delete them as they are apparently no longer there!? :banghead:
The first one to appear was called "SQLite f.orm" and then these folders:
0
YÌ╣.Î
and files:
ÕÒ├nÐ.´
ßcê
fsevents.d
ê
temporar.ylt
Maybe I have some sort of virus/malware? I am happy to reinstall Windows 10 again but I fear they will still be there as it is my external drive. I scanned the drive with AVG but it didn't come up with anything.
I hope someone can help, any advice appreciated! And yes I know I should upgrade to a better laptop with more space, I am travelling though and I have a macbook pro at home which I didn't want to bring with me.
Thanks,
Joel
*edit* perhaps this should be in the virus/malware section?
