Hi eslamgam3l,
Welcome to Trend Micro Home Users Community!
The Quarantine List displays files that seem to contain malicious software. You can delete, clean, or restore files on the list.
If Antivirus for Mac is unable to clean a file, it will quarantine it. Once quarantined, malicious software can do no harm.
To know more about how to use Quarantine List, you can refer to the link below.
How to use Quarantine List (Antivirus for Mac)
Hope this helps!

Hi, eslamgam3l
Thank you for your response,
There is no option to delete a quarantined file on Windows 10 devices since the file is already deleted once detected.
The only option for the quarantined files is to be restored but, let me just inform you that restoring a detected file poses a potential security risk. You should not restore a detected file unless you are sure that the file is clean and the detection was a false positive.
For more understanding regarding this issue you can check the link below:
Valid files and programs are detected as malicious (Trend Micro Security for Windows)
Hope this helps!
Regards,

I know that but the files still there in the quarantine. it is a basic option in all Anti-viruses. it is strange for me not to have a delete option to delete all files in quarantine.
