I don’t agree.
Whilst this looks like a hack for the primary purpose of taking control and defacing the site, I wouldn’t risk it. I think anyone who is hacked needs to be mindful of the possibility that a backdoor could have been installed.
While there are programs to scan for malware and such, these are only as good as who programmed them, nothing beats deleting.
I don’t think he’s dealing with a script kiddie for example. Hence, I’d be leaning well on the side of caution, even if deleting in your view is overkill, it’s far better being safe than sorry, imho.
