hacking: security in practice
Is my pc safe or not

So last month, I accidentally downloaded a file and then a week later a random user sent me an email to all of the email that I have used/logged in on my computer. Even the trash emails are on the list. Attached to the email is a screenshot of my desktop and saying that he has hacked my computer(keyboards, microphone and camera) The screenshot was last 08/05 and he sent the email last 08/16 and was asking for a huge amount of money and also blackmailing me that he would release a lot of private information that he got from me. He also said that I only have 2 days to send the money to his bitcoin wallet or else he'll spread a video of me masturbating. So when I read the email(around 8/21) I immediately reformatted my pc and checked if there are malwares or anything suspicious or unusual. Then on 8/26, he sent another email using another dummy account. Attached to it is the same screenshot(08/05 screenshot) and the almost same script. The only difference was the amount of money he was asking and the bitcoin wallet address. And the other night he sent yet another email but still the same screenshot(08/05 screenshot) and the almost the same script as well. But the thing is, I have used 2 new GMAIL accounts in my pc and it was not on the list. Should I still be worried about this? Sorry if I have some grammatical errors, English is not my first language.
