Wordfence Fatal error: Unknown: Failed opening required

My smartphone was stolen and I lost the authentication app for 2FA for this site, so could not authenticate when logging in. I checked online and used the advice given in many places, i.e. to rename or remove the Wordfence folder, remove the references to wordfence in the .user.ini, and removed the file wordfence-waf.php in the root folder.

Having removed all links to Wordfence and removed the plugin, I now get this (from my error log):

PHP Fatal error: Unknown: Failed opening required ‘/home/xtajaiph/public_html/wordfence-waf.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/php74/lib/php’) in Unknown on line 0

Where is it getting the call to this file, since I removed it from user.ini and there isn’t an auto_prepend command in the .user.ini OR the .htaccess file?

I now cannot login?

The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]
