Hi! I am currently infected by QSCX ransomware. I have followed the given instructions here. I just want to ask if I am supposed to remove/delete the files infected after quarantine-ing them?

Same problem here. It says that it should ask to “restart” your computer after pressing “quarantine” but it did not.

Hello, Welcome to MalwareTips.
I'm nasdaq and will be helping you.

If you can please print this topic it will make it easier for you to follow the instructions and complete all of the necessary steps in the order listed.
===

Navigate to this topic.

Submit a sample of the compromised files for their review.
They will reply and let you know what you are dealing with.

From what we know now, your files are not recoverable.
Your only solution would be to restore the files from a good backup if you have one.

The compromised files can be transferred to a CD or Flash drive.
Should a solution be found in the future you may be able to restore them.

It's never to late to use common sense to guard against being infected.
