Q: How do you find the Incompatible Software folder?
I need to delete Trend Micro Surfing software off of the Incompatible Software folder, but I am can not after several searches locate where this folder is on my Mac. The computer tells me it set the folder up on my startup disk, but when I open startup disk in my system preference, locating or choosing this folder is not an option. I have no idea where else to look or what else to try. Any help or assistance would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you!
iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

The startup disk used to be shown on the Desktop but that was changed & it leads to this type of confusion.
To open it now in Finder use the 'Go menu > Computer'. A Finder window will open with all the connected disks listed. Your startup disk may be called 'Macintosh HD' unless you renamed this disk after installing OS X.
The 'startup disk' shown in System Preferences is actually the same disk but it is used to select the disk that will boot your Mac. Changing that will cause the Mac to use another disk to run from so be careful with that preference.
