How do I free up more memory on Mac mini M1?

I have a new Mac mini M1. It has apparently been infected with search marquis. I ran several Mac cleaner apps but still I have 2.2 of 16GB memory free. I deleted Chrome Browser as it would not let me change the default browser from searchbaron/bing. Apparently this malware consumers a lot of memory.
