The name of the wallet is aleph zero and my browser downloaded the JSON file automatically, since the windows OS was still very new I just deleted the JSON file off my computer and write down the recovery seed instead.
If you did not want a digitally stored copy of your wallet, I hope you do not believe that by deleting it, it is gone forever. In order for a file to be completely gone, you have to overwrite your entire hard disk, something some Linux distributions offer as an option upon install. Maybe there are easier solutions to overwrite the free space on a Windows device that I am not aware of though.
Then if we are talking about Windows, browsers, Aleph Zero (never heard of this wallet by the way?) and Internet. Just because your Windows OS is a new install does not make it safe. Especially if your Windows copy is not legitimate, if your browser does not have random invasive add-ons, if you have not downloaded, opened and/or installed random things off the Internet, if Aleph Zero is a legitimate open source wallet and, last but not least, if the Internet connection you have is secure at all.
There are just so many things to consider when you are talking about digital safety and security. If you want that JSON copy to be useless, create a new wallet in Electrum and write down that seed just on a piece of paper by your own hands. No printers!
