Why is Avast taking up 58 GB

image
I sent a screenshot. It clearly shows that Avast One takes up 58GB.

How can I quickly reduce the size?

It specifically is all concentrated in the DEFS folder

A screenshot of the Windows Explorer might have been better, as you screenshot doesn’t indicate where in the Defs sub-folder.

I have seen something like this in the forum a while ago and it was relating to the Avast Secure Browser (and not the main AV Defs), within the Defs folder.

The whole of my Defs sub folder is only 884 MB, I have 3 subfolders and the oldest of these is empty, as a new defs update occurs it keeps the last subfolder (backup) and empties the previous one.

Note my images are for Avast Antivirus Free and not Avast One, however I suspect they would be handled in the same way.

No idea how different One is to premium or free.

premium
full size and defs. 272mb in 2nd and 3rd folder only.


GIven Raw’s post it would appear it is from the DEFs folder and not the full Avast installation. The highlighting in the quoted text is mine.

I posted a pic of the DEFS folder and it only shows as 544mb on mine

We really need to have clarification from the OP, ‘Raw’.

Bonjour,
J’ai aussi le même problème avec le répertoire DEFS qui grossit sans cesse, mais le répertoire est ailleurs …
