How do you remove Perflib Perfdata 820.dat?

Answer:
Perflib and Perfdata stands for Performance Library and Performance Data of Your computer. If By any chance, you thought it is a virus, then let us assure you that it isn't.
It is a log file that the System generates automatically whenever you switch on your computer and generally gets deleted once you switch it off. Though sometimes, when you shutdowns a computer by pressing the power button directly, these files get remained.

  • Click on start>run and the type perfmon.msc and hit enter.
  • A new window will come up showing a real-time graph of your computer's performance.

  • Now on the right hand side, you will see System Overview. Double Click on it.
  • Now keep clicking the Remove button until the counters list is empty.
