How to find and remove a hidden miner?
The laptop with Win 10 installed began to boot for a long time, accidentally found a hidden Bitcoin folder on the computer, which weighed 30 GB. I suspect that there is a hidden miner on the laptop, but tracking processes does not help to find it

Live cd + adw ccleaner + dr web + well, further down the list

And even easier: you can see what loads the video card and what processes access this folder
But it's easier to reinstall Windows , is not it?)

Either you load your computer from a healing disc, or you launch a standalone larch. Such miners are usually detected by antiviruses.
You can also check the GPU load in Task Manager. Win10 can do this since version 1803.
