Does "clamscan --remove=yes" only delete infected file from hard disk, or

we rather manually delete files that are infected, but not sure how to
handle
Having clamscan remove files before you review them is probably the worst
possible thing you can do with this product. If a false positive tags one of
your critical system files and deletes it you will have a difficult time
recovering. Same can happen with personal files. As good as ClamAV is you should
never give up control over your files to a tool that makes a best guess as to
what is and is not malware.
