What Are the "vt" Directories?
If you see directories named vt or similar in your hosting account, these are typically created by virus or malware scanning tools. On our servers, Imunify360 and ClamAV scan files for malicious content, and in some cases scanning processes create temporary directories or quarantine folders.
Can I Delete Them?
If the directories are empty, they are safe to delete. If they contain files, check whether those files are part of your website or if they are quarantined malware before removing them. When in doubt, open a support ticket and we will check what created them and whether they can be safely removed.
The vt directories do not affect your website and visitors will not see them. They only appear when browsing your account files via FTP or File Manager.
