Delete quarantined items

When McAfee quarantines items, it encrypts and isolates them in a folder to prevent the files, programs, or cookies from harming your PC.

Items placed in quarantine cannot damage your system, but you can delete an infected item or a potentially unwanted program if you want to completely eliminate it.

Open the Quarantined and Trusted Items page.

How?

Click Quarantined Items or Quarantined Potentially Unwanted Programs to display the list of quarantined threats.

From the list, select the item that you want to delete, and click Delete.
