What is this deleteme file and should I delete it?

Hi

Great question! Thanks for asking. I found several references online to those files being created by Installatron that looks to be a tool offered by hosting providers who have ‘one click’ installations of software, like wordpress, joomla , etc. Does your hosting provider use that software? Check your control panel and let us know. You could send me a zipped copy of that file to tim [at] wordfence.com and I could take a look and see whats in it and offer an opinion.

Thanks!

well tim…? any opinions? I use WF and NF (ninja fwall) and it seems my host has files I have never seen before… but when checking the cPanel no trace of those files…

Can you cat the file and see what it says? Post the contents here.

Thanks!

Hi.

I hope WFSupport is still around so you can help me out. Or anyone.

My site is: https://www.ellaletraduce.co

I have made a number of mistakes (newbie with all of this) and I ended up uninstalling and deleting wordpress and installing it again.

I have a godaddy account and yes, through cPanel I am able to do the one-click installation with Installatron.

After installing it, I should be able to enter my WordPress dashboard, but when I go to wp-admin it redirects to https://www.ellaletraduce.co/wp-content/deleteme. and a bunch of numbers.

Also, when I try to go to wp-login.php it never loads and Firefox then shows me the message that “the connection has timed out”.

I would really appreciate it if you could help me out in any way.

This i not really a wordfence issue, but a wordpress issue and would be better asked in those forums. I was able to see your login page at https://www.ellaletraduce.co/wp-admin per normal.

Hi Tim. Thanks for your answer. I managed to solve it by starting all over again. I had to reset my cPanel hosting and do everything from step one.
