1. A method for regenerating a catalyst, to which wax and oil are attached, comprising: stopping the supply of a wax fraction through a fixed-bed flow reactor charged with a catalyst for hydrocracking a wax fraction;passing a solvent comprising at least one oil selected from the group consisting of hydrocarbon and vegetable oils, wherein the oil has a sulfur content of less than 5 ppm and is in a liquid state at 15° C., through a fixed-bed flow reactor charged with the catalyst for hydrocracking the wax fraction, said wax fraction being dissolved in the solvent;picking a check-up sample from the solvent discharged from the fixed-bed flow reactor;visually checking, at a temperature at or below the temperature at which the wax deposits from the solvent with a desired level of wax concentration, for the presence or absence of wax deposition in the check-up sample;continuing the passage of the solvent through the fixed-bed flow reactor if wax deposition is present in the check-up sample, but discontinuing the passage of the solvent through the fixed-bed flow reactor if wax deposition is absent in the check-up sample;discharging the catalyst from the reactor when wax deposition is absent in the check-up sample and the flow passage of the solvent through the reactor is stopped; andremoving oil on the catalyst discharged from the fixed-bed flow reactor after the wax fraction present on and around the catalyst is removed by the solvent, by heating the catalyst under an inert gas atmosphere to evaporate the oil an obtain a deoiled catalyst. 2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the solvent passed through the fixed-bed flow reactor is then fractionated in a rectifying tower positioned downstream of the fixed-bed flow reactor, and again passed through the fixed-bed flow reactor prior to said discontinuing of the passage of the solvent through the fixed-bed flow reactor. 3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the solvent is a hydrocarbon produced by a GTL process. 4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the solvent is a light oil fraction produced by a GTL process. 5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the temperature at or below the temperature at which the wax deposits from the solvent with a desired level of wax concentration is between −20° C. to 40° C. 6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the inert gas atmosphere comprises nitrogen gas. 7. The method according to claim 6, wherein the deoiled catalyst is heated under an air atmosphere to obtain a regenerated catalyst. 8. A method for regenerating a catalyst, to which wax and oil are attached, comprising: stopping the supply of a wax fraction through a fixed-bed flow reactor charged with a catalyst for hydrocracking a wax fraction;passing a solvent comprising at least one oil selected from the group consisting of hydrocarbon and vegetable oils, wherein the oil has a sulfur content of less than 5 ppm and is in a liquid state at 15° C., through a fixed-bed flow reactor charged with the catalyst for hydrocracking the wax fraction, said wax fraction being dissolved in the solvent;picking a check-up sample from the solvent discharged from the fixed-bed flow reactor;checking, at a temperature at or below the temperature at which the wax deposits from the solvent with a desired level of wax concentration, for the presence or absence of wax deposition in the check-up sample;continuing the passage of the solvent through the fixed-bed flow reactor if wax deposition is present in the check-up sample, but discontinuing the passage of the solvent through the fixed-bed flow reactor if wax deposition is absent in the check-up sample;discharging the catalyst from the reactor when wax deposition is absent in the check-up sample and the flow passage of the solvent through the reactor is stopped; andremoving oil on the catalyst discharged from the fixed-bed flow reactor after the wax fraction present on and around the catalyst is removed by the solvent, by heating the catalyst under an inert gas atmosphere in order to evaporate the oil and obtain a deoiled catalyst,wherein the temperature is set such that the concentration of the wax in the solvent is confirmed to be decreasing, between each pass-through of the solvent, to a desired level based on a previously obtained relationship between the concentration of the wax in the solvent and a temperature at which the wax starts depositing. 9. The method according to claim 8, wherein the solvent passed through the fixed-bed flow reactor is then fractionated in a rectifying tower positioned downstream of the fixed-bed flow reactor, and again passed through the fixed-bed flow reactor prior to said discontinuing of the passage of the solvent through the fixed-bed flow reactor. 10. The method according to claim 8, wherein the solvent is a hydrocarbon produced by a GTL process. 11. The method according to claim 8, wherein the temperature at or below the temperature at which the wax deposits from the solvent with a desired level of wax concentration is between −20° C. to 40° C. 12. The method according to claim 8, wherein the inert gas atmosphere comprises nitrogen gas. 13. The method according to claim 12, wherein the deoiled catalyst is heated under an air atmosphere to obtain a regenerated catalyst.
