Website 403 error after opening zip in public_html in cPanel file manager

I messed up and opened up a zip file in my website’s public_html directory. I deleted all of the files but my website is now throwing a 403 forbidden error. The website is connected to a wordpress. cPanel’s rollback feature was disabled when this happened. Is there any way to fix this?

    This happened because the file I unzipped contained a file with the same as an existing file in the directory. If this happens to you, it is likely there is a backup of the overwritten file somewhere. Look for index.html first.
