If a virus is found and you select the action "Move" from the "Virus found!" dialog, the file is moved into the directory Data\Moved and a .vir extension is appended (at least that's the default setting). So, if you have any files in there, you have probably instructed avast! to move there some infected files it found.

I suppose you can delete it (even though 4GB is certainly very big... what could it be?)

But How I can delete it?

If you click DEL does not work?
You can try MoveOnBoot 1.95 application to delete files on next boot

I guess Technical meant that you can use the common Windows method - Explorer. The file is renamed to .vir, so you don't have to worry you'd activate the malware by mistake.

Emptying the recycle bin should help.
