What are you looking for? Seems you are low on disk space.
I messed up last Sunday when I wiped and reinstalled, so decided that
before I repaired matters, I'd run another EtreCheck scan and keep it
'in the cloud'!
Why did you wipe and reinstall?
Practice really. I do so quite regularly.
*Can Malware Go Undetected? How Viruses Hide From You*
If a malware developer knows that an antivirus will identify their code,
they still have a few tactics up their sleeves to prevent detection.
One of them is a trick called “obfuscation.” This is when a malware developer cleverly hides their malicious code so an antivirus won’t find it. For example, they may deploy a program that automatically encrypts
and decrypts the bad parts, or change the code of the virus itself so it looks different every time it infects someone.
By changing how it looks, it keeps the antivirus on its toes. An
antivirus is looking for a specific "signature" that identifies a
specific strain of malware for what it is, so if the malware developer
can hide this signature, it can dodge an antivirus scan better.

It gave me a little more practice with using Terminal.

The bonus, of course, is that I no longer have ANY of the tools from The >>> Eclectic Light Company installed on my computer. :-D
Not sure what your goal is.
To be 100% sure that any malware present was removed from my computer.
How do YOU ensure that YOUR computer has not been compromised?
This is another serious question!

How do YOU ensure that YOUR computer has not been compromised?
I take basic precautions and do not spend a lot of time worrying about it.
How do you know there is not someone breaking into your house when you are gone and messing with things? It is not likely... but it COULD happen!
This is another serious question!
I just do not spend much time worrying about it.

That's EXACTLY that the police told me way back in 2005!
I didn't believe them at first! One of the reasons I later bought an
Apple iMac!

I don't WORRY about the malware at all - just the folk who perpetrate it!

I've told you before, I trust in God to protect me! :-D

Me neither! Trying to catch bad guys is fun! 🙂
