Do I Have A Trojan?

Am I ready to delete the partition?

Part 1 - Clean boot, done
HP bloat SW found was not found in the Installed Programs list - good!

Machine Restarted - Yes?

Delete D: ... ready when you are

I checked the partition settings in the data you previously provided again and it looks like a normal disk
Disk Management should not complain when you delete it.
If it does, I'll give you another method.

OK...
I haven't figured out how to delete the Partition yet but at this moment my PC is running the slowest I've ever experienced.
It took over a minute for Firefox to open.
Am I suppose to back and change the settings to what they were?

I was also managing some music files and while transferring from one folder to another by drag and drop I realized it was the wrong folder so I X'd it out (closed) before 1% was even transferred.
Now the folder with all the music is gone.

I'm going to bed.

Ok, not sure what's going on, but you really haven't changed much on your system at this point. The only real change was disabling startup items.


I'd like you to first remove the drive letter from D:

Disk Management
Select D: (NTFS) in the top pane list
Right click
Select Change Drive Letter and paths...
Press the Remove button and acknowledge the warning with OK

Restart your system.

Post another Disk Management screen shot

Then
In Files Explorer
This PC
copy the line below and paste it into search box

kind:=(music OR movie)

That will hopefully locate the files you were dragging/dropping

Thanks

Ok,

Did you find the files?

Be certain that you process the correct Partition in this set.

Command Prompt (Admin)

diskpart
sel dis 0
lis vol

sel vol 2
lis par
lis vol

**
** These are not part of the command set, they are notes
**
** You should see an asterisk the the left of the partition and volume indicating it is the one selected.
** Make sure that the Volume selected is D:
** the next command deletes it
**

del par override

Ok, see what WD tells you.

For now, you can leave the space unallocated, you have 401 GB free on C:

Your system could stand a reorg, but I think you should wait until Win1607 in August - then backup your machine and do a clean install

The 1607 release will be enough of a change to warrant a clean install ... for everyone.
Yeah, I know .... that means I have to reinstall all my software .... it's worth it.

There's a feature in PowerShell that helps install and update some third party software.
PowerShell PackageManagement (OneGet) - Install Apps from Command Line - Windows 10 Forums

Just some reading and thinking for now ... a tool to use after a clean install.

I'd like to see your Disk Management again

1. You can skip this since you already downloaded it or get it again
   Download dmDskmgr-vd.zip (contains dmDskmgr-vd.mmc)
   
   
2. Double click dmDskmgr-vd.zip to open the compressed folder
   Double click dmDskmgr-vd.mmc to launch the custom Disk Management console
   
   
3. Press Alt+PrtScn to grab a snapshot of just the Disk Management window
   Open Paint and Ctrl+V to paste it, then save the image
   
   
4. Attach the image to a new post

Thanks
