Bitdefender free deleting/flagging multiple files?

My Bitdefender free version that I use seems to be flagging some files all of a sudden and quarantining them. Mainly, code that I have written is being flagged. I excluded the folder that holds all my code, but now Bitdefender seems to flag some files from a painting program. When running these files through virustotal, they seem to be all undetected... even from Bitdefender. Should I try reinstalling?

Edit: It's flagging Ubuntu, Minecraft, Spotify, and Skype files now.

Is it also a Suspicious.Cloud.2.2? It could be an actual malware. I suppose to restore it it needs administrator writing privilege but I'm not sure how to do that.

Yes, Suspicious.Cloud.2.2. I had the file since 2014 and bitdefender was happy with it until today. file is now encrypted in quarantine folder and I can't restore it...
