What AV should I use to clean it ?

None will help.

 

Clean Install is the only resort.

 

Regards

It's true, formatting the hard drive is a bit more secure than simply deleting the files. Formatting a disk does not erase the data on the disk, only the address tables. ... All data stay there, so any a computer specialist is able to recover most or all the data that was on the disk before the reformat.

Only the "high-level formatting"  generates a new file system, but even this method isn't enough to destroy data permanently.
And here is question - why You think, that it is "the safest way" like You said before?

yeah , just simple thought, ransomware mostly unrecoverable and dangerous , OP said that no important data

reformat will be sufficient to get of rid of that and start from the scratch.

oh maybe I forgot to add, after rebuild the system, add system protection like AV that have anti ransomware is mandatory

Yes, formatting is recommended before new installation, but the best to erase all hard disk or partition is to overwrite all data with random data or with zeros, but it is possible only if it is HDD drive.
If it is something else, for example SSD or something similar, simply delete all drive and then run Trim command and everything is done. 
After that do a quick format, this is enough.
