Can't remove backdoor file

    Hi, my website recently got hacked, and I deleted most of it, but if it’s not all gone, I’m guessing it will just start over again.

    I’m left with two corrupted files, the first one being www/index.php, which has a modified header that keeps coming back whenever I delete it ;

    And the second one being www/0znw3s/index.php, which has been identified as a backdoor, and I don’t have the permission to delete it.

    Could anyone out there help me with these ?

    Thanks a lot !

    (Also, if i’m not in the right forum please let me know)
