Are you sure you deleted the correct htaccess files in the correct WordPress installation folder and not some other WordPress installation folder?
Do you have any htaccess files somewhere else under your hosting account folders that are either not a BPS htaccess file or are a BPS htaccess file that you copied to another hosting account folder?
Example:
/.htaccess – hosting account root folder has another .htaccess file that is or is not a BPS htaccess file.
/wordpress-site-installed-here/.htaccess – has/had a BPS htaccess file
/wordpress-site-installed-here/wp-admin/.htaccess – has/had a BPS htaccess file
Clear your browser cache. Maybe the browser has cached the old condition that is no longer happening
Sorry I was not clear earlier.
Site A is okay. I can log in. The only problem is the curl function.
Site B cannot be accessed. I have double checked. Both the root folder and wp-admin folder have no htaccess files now that I have deleted them.
I have tried clearing the browser cache and also uploaded the original htaccess file to the root folder. But still getting the 403 forbidden error.

Where is Site A?
Where is Site B?
What is their relationship/hierarchy to each other?
Examples:
Site A is physically located here: /folder-path/
Site B is physically located here: /folder-path/
Site A is a WordPress single/standard site.
Site B is a WordPress subdirectory/subfolder site.

Also are any of these sites a “Giving WordPress Its Own Directory” (GWIOD) site type/installation?

Both sites are addon domains on the same shared hosting account.
They have no relationship to each other.
Each site have their own folder/root directory.

So your are saying that both sites are child sites installed one directory/folder below the hosting account root folder “/” (parent folder) and the parent folder does not have an htaccess file in it and does not have a website installed in it correct?
/ – hosting account root folder (parent) folder does not have a website installed in this folder and does not have an .htaccess file in this folder.
/siteA/ – child site – side by side / child to child relationship to siteB
/siteB/ – child site – side by side / child to child relationship to siteA
You are correct.
The parent folder does not have any website installed and there is no .htaccess file.
Site A is an addon domain. BPS is installed. Problem with cron job.
Site B is an addon domain. Cannot access site. I have deleted both .htaccess files in the root folder and wp-admin folder.

If the BPS htaccess files are deleted then that means the cron problem is not being caused by BPS on Site A and the Site B problem is not being caused by BPS. There is nothing else in BPS that could cause these problems except for the root and wp-admin htaccess files. Delete the /wp-content/plugins/bulletproof-security/ plugin folders to confirm this. You will then need to contact your host support to find out what is causing these problems. 403 errors are a standard HTTP Status Response code and are not exclusive to only BPS.
I am installing the cron job for Site A (this issue is on another ticket).
I have not tried to do the cron job for Site B yet because the site cannot be accessed at all, even after deleting both .htaccess files.

I was not aware that your site was already hacked prior to installing BPS. That changes everything. In this other thread that you posted you stated that your site was already hacked prior to installing BPS.
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cron-job-not-working-5?replies=9#post-6494179
You need to assume the worst case scenario – your hosting account and websites are still compromised/hacked and that hacker files and/or code still exist somewhere in your hosting account folders and that hacker files or code have damaged the normal functionality of your website(s).
Personally I would assume the sites and the entire hosting account are compromised and do all of the steps in this forum link: http://forum.ait-pro.com/forums/topic/wordpress-hacked-wordpress-hack-cleanup-wordpress-hack-repair/
You want to be 100% sure that your hosting account and websites are not compromised, infected or have hacker files or code anywhere.
