I do not have any console open as I know of. I even broke the codes and re-run them and closed the consoles one by one. But, my cpu usage keeps on increasing. I cannot find the reason for it to increase. I also have 3 daily tasks which I keep an eye on and they are not the reason for my problem as it continues to increase even they are not running.

How do I proceed to solve this problem?

I have deleted every single file and there is no way that I have anything running. But it continues to increase.

One possibility is that the CPU usage on your account is coming from Jupyter/IPython notebooks. They continue to run, even when you're not viewing them, and when they're idle they "sip" CPU power at a rate of about a second per minute. In the processes table at the bottom of the Consoles page they'll have names like "jupyter", "sudospawner", or "kernel". It can be a bit tricky to spot that they're using up the CPU because they do it by spawning a new process, which uses up about a second, then exits -- the parent process that's doing the spawning doesn't use up much CPU by doing that, and of course the processes that start then stop are very ephemeral, so you will probably not see them.
