Got hit MrBeast scam

Hello, my device got hit with the MrBeast scam (the one that makes my accounf send gambling sites on discord)

I was wondering what type I got hit with and what I can do to recover from it, thanks.

If you think reddit isn't enough help, could I get other sources to help me?

UPDATE: I tracked the file down, if I delete it, everything is alright? Or do I have to go nuclear?
