    Hi, wordfance allerts me about this:
    “public_html/wp-content/cache/object/000000/d55/3b1/d553b1cad681765460a6d0eded03aaf2.php”

    I’ve select the “Tools:Delete this file (can’t be undone).”
    but I’ve this error:

    “An error occurred
    An invalid file was requested for deletion.”

    what do I need to do?

    Hi,

    If you have FTP access or similar to your site you could navigate directly to that directory and delete the file in question. Check with your hosting provider if you are not sure how to access via FTP.

    Thanks,

    Hi, Iw as not able to delete the file via FTP too.. btw today I managed to delete it.. maybe the problem was that the file was reading by wordfence and was not possible to delete it.. just another little question if possible.. yesterday I’ve started a scan manually but today it was still running.. how many time do it need to scan the site?

    Wordfence will scan your site automatically and alert you to problems. If/when Wordfence alerts you to an issue, fix the problem, and then run a manual scan to confirm the issue is resolved.
