Hi, how Avast handles detected files depends on your settings.

Which is Asyn and Pondus and asking is what are your detection settings ?
You also don’t say what shield or on-demand scan made the detection ?
You don’t say what the file name and location, nor the malware name given ?

All of this information helps us to see what the problem is.
Personally my file shield settings for action on detections are Ask and No Action. That way I control the actions not what the default settings are.

As a secondary action, I would suggest that you start considering a backup and recovery strategy. I do weekly drive image backups and keep the last 6 images, I can recover a file, folder or whole partition or drive (no matter what the reason).

EDIT: Re your comment “which one of those,” we don’t know as we don’t know what made the detection.
