Yes, you can fix as you scan, and you don’t even need to pause the scan to do it.
Also, most WordPress sites only have around 1,000 folder, so 32,000 folders is a lot. Does this site have multiple other sites installed under it?
Let me know if you have any more questions?

Just one site, I’m wondering the same.
Here: wp-content/cache/db/000000/all has 4066 items and the folders are looking like this: 000, 001, 002… 009, 00a, 00b, 00c…
The complete scanning status is 48% right now, and it’s still on that 000000 folder.

Oh, yuck, that’s a cache folder. You should not have caching enabled if you are trying to scan for and get rid of infections. You should also delete ALL cache files before starting any file scans. It is unnecessarily time consuming to scan through thousands of cache files when then are only temporary, and most likely old, and likely to be freshly recreated once you re-enable caching.
I would suggest that you go ahead and fix what threats have been found thus far, then disable caching and delete the entire cache folder, then restart the Complete Scan.

Cache plugin disabled, all cache files deleted, full scan completed, 54 files in quarantine…
I’ve requested another review from google, so lets hope that “this site may be hacked” message will be gone soon.
