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

Hi Mags R
Could you please provide more details about the warning you are receiving? Would you please try to run a manual scan once, from App Security page> Show Scan details and then click on start?

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 Mags R
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.
