Hi Bilijean74,
It is possible that after deleting the Ubuntu some files were left on the hard drive. These may be some backup files or system files that are no longer used because the OS was changed. Is it possible to delete them manually? I would recommend you to run the Disk Cleanup feature https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/tips-to-free-up-drive-space-on-your-pc-4d97fc4a-0175-8d49-ac2f-bcf27de46d34#delete-files-using-disk-cleanup=windows-7
It is highly unlikely that your PC was affected by that OS change. This is a standard procedure and should not cause any trouble in the future.
Did he install Windows over the Ubuntu installation? If he did so, the Ubuntu cannot be used anymore, so you should not worry for any harmful software.
Hope this helps
