They've provided an update and assistance on how to proceed with your request. You can access your ticket here or through your email and I highly suggest you communicate with the team so that they can assist you more efficiently. Thank you!

Based on what you wrote, I don't think you need any help from Upwork Customer Support.
If somebody from Upwork reaches out to you and offers assistance, that's great. But I don't think you need to wait.
I think you can obtain all of the help and advice you need right here in the Community Forum.
Here is my advice:
The freelancer you hired is not on your team.
Take these steps:
1) Log into all websites and systems you have provided this freelancer access to
2) Change the passwords so that he can no longer access them.
3) Close the Upwork contract
4) Block him so that he can not communicate with you and waste your time.
5) Hire 4 new freelancers to work on the project
6) Assign them tasks. Continue working with the freelancers who impress you and provide you with value. Immediately fire the underperforming freelancers.
