Do not delete blindly
When a critical match appears, first preserve evidence and understand the cause. Careless deletion can break the site or remove useful forensic information.
Recommended order
- Create a current backup or snapshot of the state if it is still safe to do so.
- Document the affected file and path.
- Compare it with a trusted original version of WordPress, the plugin, or the theme.
- Review administrator access, updates, and other anomalies.
- When uncertain, involve your host, agency, or a security specialist.
