Sometimes it is easier to just reinstall WordPress to clean up any edited files or after a hack.
Under Dashboard -> Updates there is a button to reinstall your WordPress installation.
Please note: If the changes made were done by your developer to fix a particular issue with the website, you will loose these changes when you reinstall WordPress.
If you have any doubt, please reach out to your website administrator.
