Formatting the computer system will indeed remove the ransomware, including the encrypted files. However, it’s important to note that formatting the system should be a last resort as it will also erase all data on the computer, including any legitimate files and documents. It is recommended to try other methods to recover the encrypted files, such as using decryption tools, seeking help from cybersecurity professionals, or restoring from backup files if available.
