If a file is critical for the website, the scanner includes it in the report and does not delete it. The way how WP Cerber handles such files is configured in the scanner settings. They are very flexible. Finally, all deleted files are moved to the quarantine and can be restored. Chances that a vital file can be deleted are extremely low. We saw several cases when a backup plugin stores a website backup locally in one of the folder on the website. Since the backup files contain executable code, those files were deleted by the scanner. For such cases, there is a setting to specify a list of folders to ignore.
Thank you for your answer.
One more point, even if suspicious code is embedded in the WordPress core file or the file that makes up the plugin, if you set it to “restore” and enter it, the normal file will be automatically reinstalled. can you give me?

Yes, the WP Cerber scanner recovers corrupted or infected files according to the settings on the “Cleaning Up” tab.
Thank you.
I’m doing a full scan now, but it’s not progressing (more than 1 hour).
Is this normal?
Or is a quick scan enough?
As a situation, the number of files exceeds 20,000.
