Should I delete Windows Terminal or Administrator: Powershell?
I have had a major problem with hackers and cyber stalking for nearly a year. I just had the hard drive replaced for the second time in five months on my Dell Inspiron 7706 because of this. Today I discovered that my hacker has created a spoofed PowerShell Administrator ID, which allows her (them) to remotely access my laptop and insert viruses. Can I safely delete the "Administrator: PowerShell" or Windows Terminal without damaging my new hard drive? Thank you. @Windows PowerShell
- Assuming you have a admin permission on the computer,
Should be yes, but make sure you have an admin access to the computer.
Also where is your antivirus
There are some basic practices you can apply to limit PowerShell

and based on what you said, I understand that you are using a standalone laptop that is not connected to a network - Uh, you cannot really uninstall powershell from Windows as it will break the operative system.
Which symptoms make you think that you're being hacked? Have you attempted wiping and reinstalling the machine from scratch?
