**Delete Malicious File Auto-Remediation:** This guidance explains Expel's process for identifying and deleting malicious files on endpoints as part of eradication after containment, using a banking trojan example (CredHarvest.exe) that dropped a DLL and a Base64-encoded config; it covers detection, analyst validation, customer approval, EDR-executed deletion, and confirmation/audit steps to prevent re-infection and support forensic follow-up.
