Hello, lately I cleaned up my PC (with Windows 10 64bit installed on), basically deleting useless files, folders and other stuff from my computer. I have little tool on my computer installed which is Hardwipe, I'm using it often to hardwipe files from my Recycle Bin and as usual I started my program (I've uploaded program GUI screenshot, link's down below) choosed DOD 5220.22-M process (Three pass; 1. Writes zero bytes (0x00) 2. Writes high bytes (0xFF) 3. Writes pseudo-random bytes) and Started, everything has been deleted, then one week later I cleaned up my PC again, and this time in exact same way there was error, I've saved the log so here it is:

It doesn't matter what pass I choose, everytime it's the same, I bought BitDefender some time ago, scanned my PC and deleted all files that was detected as a virus or dangerous, that didn't help, also cleaned up my PC with BitDefender and it's option, and that deleted 2 of those files (I guess) Because when it says:
Items Completed: 2
Failed Items: 6
Before cleaning up with BitDefender it was:
Items Completed: 0
Failed Items: 8
I have no clue what to do, I searched in Google for hours now and I'm afraid of something big right here, so I'm asking you guys, what should I do?
