I've also submitted a new sitemap.xml

Is there anything I should do?

find a common folder for these pages, and add it to your htaccess using 410 code to tell google that these pages are gone for ever.

Better restore from a backup. Dealing with this manually would be a pain. Use themes and plugins from official sources only.
