IS reformatting an appropriate method of deleting files?
No. Files can be deleted accurately without reformatting. Reformatting is for completely deleting the entire drive's contents and re-establishing the file structure. This is usually used to repair a damaged file structure, or permanently erase all contents of the disk. (Although methods of undoing or recovering still exist.)
What to do if your computer has a worm?
First, try to locate the root file of the worm. The root file is the carrier file of the virus. Try deleting it first. After deleting it, use an effective antivirus to delete threats on a particular drive. Run a full scan (if on PC) or Custom or USB scan (if on USB or CD drives). After Scanning, delete files with threats. Try buck-up-ing a copy of your safe USB files on PC. Then try reformatting your drive (If using USB).
