avast will normally offer/highlight the best option/choice depending on the type of virus/malware. Generally if it can’t be repaired avast won’t offer that as an option.
Always look at it like this, ‘first do no harm,’ just like doctors; deleting a file leaves few/no options if you find that the file was detected incorrectly and you delete an important system file. Repair if the option is offered/available. Move to the chest is probably the best as from the chest the file can do no harm, you have time to investigate, it can be repaired if possible, it can be restored if a required file and it can also be deleted if after a few days there are no adverse effects on your system.
