I researched WinDirStat and discovered a tool that shows detailed disk usage. I checked my SSD using the link you shared and noticed several large files consuming significant space. I’m not familiar with them or Malwarebytes, but I think it would help to free up room for Photoshop and other programs. Thanks!

These are essential files, removing them could cause problems. Avoid doing that.

They are consuming 30GB, which seems unusual.

It seems you're confirming the deletion of a file or directory. Let me know if you need further assistance!

WinDirStat isn't a system file, which makes sense—I'm not entirely confident about its safety. It doesn't appear to be a Microsoft product.

It's likely related to page files used when RAM is insufficient. You can relocate or remove them if necessary, but it's best to use Windows utilities to handle this safely without causing harm.

I didn't mention WinDirStat as a system file; I was referring to those problematic tools. http://prntscr.com/5xu4mf

If they are temporary files, you can remove them.

He overlooked the key issue, using windstrike data and discovering large files whose safety he wasn't sure about

Well, it's clear these files shouldn't be removed, even if the reason isn't immediately obvious.
