#

Hello so i have another post about kind of my issue but i uninstalled call of duty,i have a few apps on my pc,everything is deleted on it like the default apps n things when i uninstalled the call of duty i remained with 388gb https://discord.com/channels/150662382874525696/1226637117044555907 its my other post more info here idk how to explain im stupid at it im sorry i hope someone is considering helping me 😦 my disk is 476gb i have only 388 free no games installed,only:spotify,firefox,steam,gforce experience,malwarebytes (anti virus) and cloudfare warp (vpn),it might be some kind of malware considering i have played so with hacks but malware bytes its on its premium trial and i ran full pc scan everyday and i see no detections....

#

hes stupid

#

he told me it didnt work but it installed some kind of file n shit

#

idk i think it the codes

#

not sure tho

barren kiln
#

that script is gross (and breaks discord tos) but it probably isn't the cause of your storage concerns

#

someone in your other thread recommended using WinDirStat to look around for what's eating your storage, i would recommend using that or WizTree (it does the same thing, it's just a bit faster)

#

my guess is you created a VM in Hyper-V but the disk image wasn't deleted when you deleted the VM

low ravine

barren kiln
# low ravine There is no way to delete it now right?

you can, i responded in your other thread but i will copy it here also:

yes, if the VM isn't running there are no hardware resources allocated to it (aside from storage / disk space, but you can delete the virtual disk to restore that)

they are stored under C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Virtual hard disks i believe

low ravine
#

Thank youu

#

W microsoft discord

low ravine
#

@barren kiln how do i find program data

#

nmv

#

nvm

#

i did

#

i did

#

what do i need to find in there

#

why i have this much shit on my pc bruh

barren kiln
low ravine
#

there is no virtual hdds

#

hard disk

barren kiln
#

then it may be under Hyper-V > Virtual hard disks instead

low ravine
#

there is no hyper v

#

😭

barren kiln
#

then i think it's a fair to assume that the files have been deleted, assuming you're looking in the right folder

low ravine
#

://////////////////////////////////////////////

barren kiln
#

be sure you aren't under Program Files or Program Files (x86) but ProgramData

low ravine
barren kiln
#

and from this folder if you open Microsoft, then Windows, you don't see Hyper-V or Virtual Hard Disks?

low ravine
#

yea

#

theres no

#

hyper v

#

myeha

#

not virtual hdds too

barren kiln
#

guess it's already gone then theshrug

low ravine
#

but

#

where my ram gone?

#

i mean

#

it supposed to be like 11

#

nba 2k24 btw

barren kiln
#

oh, these have nothing to do with ram, virtual hard disks would take up storage space

low ravine
#

maybe cuz that?

low ravine
#

dosent virtual machines alocate ram n shit?

#

arent them ram and cores gone too

barren kiln
#

yes, but if your vms are not running (they are not if you've removed Hyper-V), they do not use resources as i stated earlier

#

additionally, you can see what is using your resources under the Processes tab of Task Manager—if you click the tabs it will sort by usage

low ravine
#

ohh

#

ye

#

hyper v is a malware

#

im suing microsoft

barren kiln
#

no its not

#

im not sure why you think that

low ravine
#

you litreally cant delete it

#

only if you reinstall it

#

reinstall windoes

barren kiln
#

i did see yorii's comment about that, but that doesn't make it malware. whatever might be left behind when you remove it will not harm or impact your computer

#

and i am sure there is a notice in microsoft documentation about that somewhere if it's true

low ravine
#

with 1 game installed

#

and 388 with only apps

#

(0 apps)

#

wonder were are the 88 gigs

#

or less

#

cuz windows takes space

#

but this much>?

#

holy shit

barren kiln
# low ravine

the "machine virtualization layer" that yorii was talking about has nothing to do with storage space, and once you delete Hyper-V and all of your vms, you should get that storage back

low ravine
#

yea i didnt

#

before hyper v i had 271

#

after i still had 254

barren kiln
#

you didn't what? delete the vms? you have just shown me that the virtual hard disks do not exist on your system, and those are what take up the storage

barren kiln
# low ravine

as myself and others have suggested in your two threads, use a program like WinDirStat or WizTree to see what is using your storage

low ravine
#

i did

#

and idk what to look at

#

😭

barren kiln
#

open up one of them and sort by size. that'll show you the largest files on your computer. send a screenshot and i can try to help point out which files are important

low ravine
#

alr i done installed it

barren kiln
#

huh?

low ravine
barren kiln
#

it's still scanning, wait for it to finish (i believe the green bar at the bottom will disappear when it's done? it's been a little while since i've used WDS)

low ravine
#

better now

barren kiln
#

right, so you've got a lot under Program Files (x86)—if you click the + next to it it'll expand and show you the folders inside of it

low ravine
#

a little game dont worry

#

:/

#

fuck man

barren kiln
# low ravine with 1 game installed

yeah so if your game is roughly 150 GB this checks out

the other 88 GB of files are a mix of system files, your personal files, and files belonging to other apps on your computer—it all looks relatively normal to me

low ravine
#

what other files

#

i stil dont know why like 13 gigs are missing cuz of hyper v 🔥

barren kiln
# low ravine

13, huh? out of curiosity, expand the ProgramData folder here?

barren kiln
# low ravine what other files

it depends. some apps (like browsers, Discord) have caches. cache is temporary data stored to make some apps work faster. it's recreated as needed, so deleting it will only free up space temporarily in most cases.

your Users folder is 14 GB, so you probably have a good amount of personal files on the computer too (or perhaps someone else does if other people use this computer too).

low ravine
#

it dosent

#

anymore

#

thats the point

#

and its clean windows

#

or someone else.........

#

what the fu

#

appdeta

#

uea

#

is this alright>?

#

fucking nvidia

#

alr i think i might have a fuckin rat on my pc

#

remote acess trojan

barren kiln
#

what makes you think that?

low ravine
#

playing with fuckin csgo hacks

#

the same my friend did

#

and his pc got fked in the ass

#

litreally

#

he woke up overnight

#

of some russian guy sending tickets

#

to his account

#

and the bad russian guy reseted his hwid on a account

#

and setn up 2fa

#

😭

barren kiln
#

those screenshots look normal to me, but if you suspect you have malware then you might want to consider reinstalling Windows

low ravine
#

naa

#

its ko

#

i got malwarebytes

#

also

#

the app

#

that

#

is prob the rat

#

is called exloader

#

and it made me install opera

#

and i uninstalled

#

it

#

(everytime i restart my pc or some,an opera folder appears in my run>appdata)

#

and its uninstalled

barren kiln
#

malware usually can't just be defeated by clicking uninstall, but it depends

low ravine
#

+the app is some russian

low ravine
#

idk if process hacker works

#

for finding out the rat

#

or sum

#

btw all those files are gone

barren kiln
#

right, so if you think malwarebytes can/has handled everything then that's fine—but if you continue to suspect that you have a RAT or some other form of malware, my recommendation is to reinstall Windows

low ravine
#

how can i

#

even suspect that

#

i check my email every 10 minutes

#

i mean

#

if i had a rat

#

the hacker would seen my card

#

i used my card to buy nba

#

like

#

the whole shit

#

pin

#

security hsit

#

😭

#

so uh

#

should i delete

#

the

#

#

from windows + r

#

aka run

#

barren kiln
#

im not entirely sure what you mean, but you have shown me that the hyper-v files do not exist on your computer
