Corrupted Bluetooth file, do I have the correct one?

I suspect I have a corrupted bluetooth file and have read about how to delete the Bluetooth plist file, have gone to Library/Preferences to look for com.apple.Bluetooth.plist but can only find com.apple.BluetoothFileExchange.plist. Am on Mojave 10.14.3.


Is this file the one I should be deleting to clear the corruption, or is the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file located somewhere else?


Thanks

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.14

Why do you think you have a corrupted bluetooth file? What problems are you experiencing?

Thanks, the problem I had was that I have a Logitech Mouse and K811 keyboard (plus an OontZ speaker) that are typically running a bluetooth connection. After disconnecting my keyboard and reconnecting 12 hours later, it would not reconnect and was not even "discoverable". Tried everything recommended with that device, concluded that the plist was corrupted after researching the problem. Left the keyboard "off" a few days, tried it again this morning, and it worked, not sure why. I'll file your recommendation as a potential future action, thanks for the response.
