Comment:

 My company website is hacked by the Japanese keyword hack. We have cleaned
 almost everything (By deleting our .htaccess file from our site and
 uploaded default version of the .htaccess file). Now our XML sitemap has
 many spam links listed. We cannot find a way to delete/clear it. We tried
 turning off Sitemaps and then back on. We have reinstalled Yoast. Here is
 the XML sitemap link -

 Any advice please?
