theres no way a 94 gigabyte file would appear out of nowhere

#

and also it made me lag in games

#

Nah virus can't be imo

#

malware leaves no trace.. unless it purposefully wants to kill your disk

#

How long have you had this installation? Usually cache files tend to accumulate if you don't delete them often. Yes, even as bad as 90+ GB.

#

I don't think there's any application so poorly designed that caches stuff in a single file though... Maybe a bug?
