'.htaccess files are repeatedly being created in File Directory

I am having around 10 sites in a shared hosting. Recently I have noticed that there are so many .htaccess files have been created and restricting user access.

<FilesMatch ".(py|exe|phtml|php|PHP|Php|PHp|pHp|pHP|phP|PhP|php5|suspected)$">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from all
</FilesMatch>

Above block is what is written in all code .htaccess. When I delete those, it appears to be regenerated again. meaning there should be a script running somewhere else in the package.I even installed Wordfence plugin to identify the updated files. I restored recent modifications which appeared to be malicious. but still no changes. There are also some encoded code lines in files like index.php which is below.

I have no options to do other than deleting the .htaccess by each and every directory. but it won't solve the problem. What can I possibly do other than emptying my file manager.
