What is this file? It's taking up half of my hard drive space. Can I delete it?

A large unknown file/folder suddenly appeared on the computer, occupying about 50% of the hard disk space. Its source and function cannot be confirmed.

    Large unknown files can sometimes be malware or unwanted programs. Run a full scan with your antivirus or antimalware software (e.g., Windows Defender, Malwarebytes)
