So my disk space has been at 100% for a couple weeks and I've tried everything including a new hdd in the PC and it seems that got infected as well. I tried to factory new the computer but it didn't help. I went into the command prompt and "cleaned" the new hdd but for some reason it didn't remove anything. Basically I need to know how to erase everything. Off both hdd I'll just reinstall Windows. Please help! I have Windows 10

Hi John_445!
A brand new HDD was full? Go return it a get a new one!
If it's too much trouble, buy a new copy of windows, and from the boot menu, do a clean install. This will completely wipe your dive and reinstall Windows.
Hope I helped, and that you warranty on that drive stands!

Oh I'm sorry! What I meant was when my PC is running my disk usage goes up to 100% and makes my computer very slow. The disks both have plenty of spec left on them
