You could try to use Spotlight (Cmd-F) to search for the file.Īnother option is to use a one of the apps from here instead.

It used to be a decent app-uninstaller, but has accumulated a bunch of snake oil features in more recent years. I didn't fully understand all the references, but there was enough information presented to me to have me understand that these out of date "kexts" were not needed (from 2015 I discovered) and I was able to remove them without any apparent repercussions.I would stay away from CleanMyMac X as well.
