Manually verifying files is almost impossible. If you antivirus like clamav, it won’t detect all malware. Even a one line PHP script with exec() function can give hacker access back. For this reason, it is always better to remove all files from your server and upload files fresh. If you use CMS like wordpress, joomla, etc.. just download the software and reinstall.

You may need to use images folder from hacked site, in such case, verify these folders don’t have any malware/php files in it. As for theme, it is always better to download latest version from theme provider and do a reinstall. Theme is one place where hackers hide/install backdoors, that allow them to access site after cleanup as many just copy back old theme files.
