N_360 backup/ 300gig backup folder....

So My CPU space has been running low for awhile. I cleared some games up and managed to get around 40-50 gigs free. Today I went to download a game and it was at 8. So I downloaded a program to look at my memory usage and it turns out 300 gigs are being used for a folder called N_360 backup. I looked it up and it is a norton backup folder apparently.
I don't even have norton anyways what the fuck. I am deleting it right now and maybe I will make an actual backup after with the extra space 
Anyone ever have similiar issues?

if you've never had norton on the computer, that is really weird.
i'm guessing norton 360 trial was installed and deleted at some point without your knowledge, because malware just wont take up 200gb

also, if you click into the folder, what are the 5 largest files? or is it one gigantic backup file?

Yeah I probably had it a long time ago or something, but it must have been like at least 1 year or two 
I went from 8 gigs to 180 in like 10 minutes 
230 gigs now and still deleting that damn folder....
It had like 5-10 folders in it. {A - {F and some other random ones. I didn't bother checking really since without Norton it seems useless to me.

i would definately delete that 300gb garbage. they would probably make you pay for a license to restore that data anyways

Yeah I fucking hate Norton, I should sue them for all the BS they have put me through just to pay for their crap.
Finished deleting it a bit ago and now I have 303 gigs free 
Sweet freedom! Now I can start filling it back up with music games and mayhaps movies.
