Try looking in Quarantine.

For future reference questions regarding mobile security should be in the Mobile forum section https://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=119.0

What is in the Avast For Mobile settings > Settings > Notifications & Alerts (you could also check the Activity log) ?

It shares data on detections on your mobile to improve overall protection for all users.

First - stick to one topic those trying to help are jumping around answering the same things, duplication of effort.

Second - read the answers/replies before posting, did you check the Notifications & Alerts as I suggested above.

Now please stick to the one topic.

Stick to one topic please, your other two have now been deleted since you can't adhere to suggestions.

DavidR had advised you to check "Notifications and Alerts", which should tell you what was deleted.

If you open Avast app,
Touch the three lines Menu option top left,
Scroll down to My Statistics and tap.
Does that tell you anything?

You should have seen a Notification in the phone's Notifications area of what Avast found and quarantined. That I believe is where others were telling  you to look.
