I've come across hundreds of folders on my computer labeled "ohonu_[a bunch of numbers]" that are consuming a huge amount of storage space. Each folder seems to contain files named 'ebwebview', and I'm concerned this might be malware. Can someone help me figure out what's going on?

First things first, where exactly are these folders located on your PC? It’s also helpful to know what type of files are inside them, especially if they’re taking up significant space. You should check the modified dates too—if they’re showing dates like December 2025 or 2026, that’s a red flag. Also, have you installed anything new recently? That might give us a clue.
It looks like those folders are actually related to Microsoft Edge. There’s a lot of talk about this 'EdgeWebView' component. You can check more about it on Microsoft’s official site. If you don’t use Edge, it might be worth considering deleting those folders to reclaim your space.
