    You can also use plugins like https://www.wordfence.com/ to scan and clean your project

    I told you, now I can’t access the dashboard, or even the login page.

    Just if you can answer me, can I do a fresh install of WP with just the wp-content folder in hand? and if so, what else do I need (let’s the wp-config)??

    @threadi First: Thank you for this calming reply.

    Thanks for the link, I will read the whole topic.

    My recommendation would be to delete the website completely and import a backup

    Honestly I don’t have a full backup of my website, though I have a backup to my wp-content folder locally using FileZilla, but I don’t have a backup to my wp-admin folder or anything else. The problem that the Host provider didn’t solve the backup problem, and as you can see this thing happened.
    Also to mention the site is somehow has a large space just the wp-content is (about 9.11 GB) and has (95017 files) and (8768 folders).

    A hack can also happen away from plugins. E.g. by too simple passwords of admin users or at the hosting

    The passwords are really complex ones, but do you think some of the admins are exploited and their passwords are compromised??

    Oh!! I almost forgot to mention, there were a lot of scam/spam posts (Bitcoin, dummy content, ….), well I deleted those before.

    Thanks again, and please could you provide me with material, links, docs, or any sort of help. Really really appreciate your help.
