As well as my C drive, I also have a D drive, where I park unused programs e.g. X-plane which occupied about 27GB.

I normally just zap those programs which I decide are not only unused but are now obsolete.

But this time round I decided to BC wipe as well x-plane ( I have a newer version ).

Then I discovered that BC wipe each time I start the PC pops up on the desktop to announce it is still wiping in a directory called RECYCLER.

Looking into the D Dir list, I find I have another directory called Recycled.... which contains two zero size sub dirs

S-1-5-21-1801674531-1960408961-839522115-1003
S-1-5-21-854245398-776561741-839522115-1003

That they are empty is not true because BC wipe informs as it goes along on the actual operation and I am seeing xplane files names as the current wipe targets.

Also when I run Treesize on the C: HD, It tells me that all the directories have an owner called
S-1-5-21-1801674531-1960408961-839522115-1003.

All except two:-

Windows and another directory I had never noticed before called
a3b863c2e230523d9a596870.
This contains two subdirectories called
AMD64 and i386

Have I got a virus?

Can anyone clarify?

Thanks
Fred
