Its a trojan, and why is it still on your PC?

The exact workings don't matter. Why it is still there matters.
Actually i deleted it.I'm just wondering. I think he stayed on my computer for a while. What could he have done in that time?BotX-gen does the species have its own characteristics

It could have done multiple things:
Keylogger
Copied any personal files elsewhere
Left behind control software to make your system part of a botnet
Delayed action ransomware
All of the above
