Just looked at the s/w manual and the Antivirus button is NOT showing green, so I assume that means it's turned off and therefore my disc root usage should not increase from now on, unless I'm missing something!
Sounds like the service is turned off.
What apps are you running?

Sorry, I didn't explain myself very well. My Antivirus was running - button was green - and then I disabled it, and having looked at the manual, I realised I had turned it off successfully.
No other apps are running.
I took the bull by the horns and used 'ssh' to gain access and then changed directory to "/var/lib/clamav" then "ls -la" and then used the command "rm -r clamav-*.tmp" as advised by 'asimb' and finally restarted the NAS.
It's all up and running and looking good so far 🤞.
Thanks for all your and 'asimb's help in getting this sorted. It is very much appreciated.
Regards,
Graham
