I have an old Gateway I purchased back in 2012 that I used primarily for torrenting and downloading movies, music, etc. and I deleted all the partitions on it. I put Windows 10 onto it via free upload thru USB key (I believe it used to be Windows 7 or Vista). It is now used only to check emails on and do the odd YouTube search.
I went to do a full scan on it and it's showing hundreds of thousands of files being checked, well over an hour into the scan. Where are all of these files coming from?? I deleted all the partitions, meaning all of the memory should have gone with it? It shouldn't take this long to do a scan, as there's almost nothing on the memory.
Can someone explain what might be going on please?
