Deleting ngbase files?
« on: August 06, 2015, 02:44:15 PM »
I am trying to claim back some disk space.

Almost 1Gb is taken up by files in C:\ProgramData\AVAST Software\Avast\ng\NgBase including snapshots and dat files

I don't think I even have NG. Deepscreen and secure virtual machines are switched off in settings.

But I am unable to delete the folder. It is locked in the OS (Windows 10) even with administrator privileges.

Any idea on how to get rid of it?

NG doesn't run on W10 yet, afaik.
I suggest a clean (custom) reinstall.
