Site failure due to theme-compat file

Hi all
Just wondered why I would have a site failure (couldn’t load the website nor get to wp-admin) with error message /home/lifejoh5/public_html/xxxxxx wp-includes/theme-compat/.a10354d6.ico.
Had to rename that file to get the site back up.
I am using Themeco Version: 6.0.4. What is Themeco calling on for it to need to even look at that file?
Can I delete that entire file?

Hi Matt,

That file is not part of the theme and the wp-includes directory is actually part of wordpress core files.
I checked wordpress files and could not see that file as well. So I guess you can delete that file.
I also suggest you contact your hosting provider as your site might have been compromised or hacked,

Thanks
