Thanks for your understanding in advance.

Windows 10, paid business edition, was one "update" behind the latest updated today to the latest, and for a year now current license expires 2023. 


I already fully removed the program deleted all AVG folders and reinstalled problem is solved however the issue at hand is why the hell AVG utilizes 360+GB of space. I don't care if the "defs" folders are definitions etc seems like poor coding or something else wrong... based off what I found others have had similar issues maybe not as big of a folder but still plenty over 20GB. And based of what I've seen as for responses on some "that's not possible".
