Passwords.txt?

February 3rd, 2020

I’ve just defragmented my hard drive, and noticed that 8GB of it is one file, passwords.txt. It’s stubbornly sat fragmented at the centre of my hard drive and it’s annoying me. It can’t be opened by any programs I can think of, Word says it is corrupted, so can I just delete it?
Cheers.

Answer #1
Scan it with an antivirus first and check if it’s not anything dangerous. I actually have no idea what the file is so I can’t tell you if you can or cannot delete it. However, it doesn’t sound like any important system file I know and it shouldn’t take 8GB
Good luck mate ^_^
Answer #2
Normally no single file should be that big, I reckon its safe to delete!
Answer #3
it might have the wrong file extension. its probably a video. Maybe it got downloaded from limewire or bearshare?
Answer #4
.txt file @ 8gb will fail to open/freeze up your system, even if you have 16gb of memory (as i’ve tried in the past). delete it, do a scan with your adware/spyware app of choice, and remove anything needed
