How to undo "cleanup" that automatically deleted a bunch of stuff I need without ever asking me?

I just ran Sophos for the first time on the advice of a web IT writer that I formerly trusted for advice. 

Aside from for some reason communicating a bunch of private information about my local machine and software to Sophos's servers, it decided on its own that a bunch of my apps were "unwanted", and "cleaned" (deleted) them without ever asking me... my Monero wallet, some stuff I use for legitimate pentesting solely on my own servers, etc. 

It did give me one popup for one of the apps, which I specifically did NOT tell it to "clean" because I need it. Now it's gone. The app is there but when I open the package the binary and all files are gone now, it's just an empty package now. 

How do I undo this broken "cleanup" before I delete Sophos from my Mac forever? I looked in the trash but the missing stuff isn't there. How do I tell it to put all the things I need back where they are supposed to be?
