But it is not able to delete it and gives regular warnings...

    Dear Shweta,

    I went through the entire app. There is absolutely no button to click for manual scan. There are no more details about this threat. The app that reports this threat is Sophos Intercept X, my device is an Android 9 mobile phone Moto g6

    Hi  

    When you open Sophos Intercept X on the mobile, you will see App Security Tab just below the device and network security. Once you click on the App security it will show you last scan details and engine update, click on show scan details and it will trigger a manual scan on the app. Also, kindly check under the "Log" tab, and check if you are seeing any more details about this detection.

    Thank you, the manual scan reports the exact same threat. I found 4 log files. I cut and paste the IMHO most relevant part below. Please let me know if you need parts of the other logs.

    Hi  

    In few instances, we require to manually delete the detected file. Could you please check on this path storage/9016-4EF8/Download/ on your mobile device and see if you are able to manually delete this detected file?

    Dear Shweta, that was my first idea but there is no visible map with this path. I don't know if it is possible to show hidden maps in Android without rooting. I have no experience in rooting Android devices

    Dear Shweta, to my surprise with another file browser than the default one I found out that the folder was there, not hidden, and I was able to delete the file. Thanks for your help.
