    How do I remove quarantined threats

    It does say under 'Quarantined threats' that "Quarantined threats have been isolated and prevented from running on your device. They will be periodically removed". It could just be that by now they have been automatically removed. It's a possibility as your detections were a few days ago on the 5th. My test was less than 24 hours ago so the quarantined file has not (yet) been automatically removed.

    Just reassurance that it's working as designed.

    How do I remove quarantined threats

    Since Defender did it's job by identifying and quarantined the threat, what will I gain by testing it as you suggest?

    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:
