I have deleted Bing from applications, moved it to trash, emptied trash, and restarted my Mac using HighSierra I've made sure that Google is my desired search engine in the system preferences tab, but Bing still redirects itself. Strangely, Bing does not show up in the extensions tab, so I can't delete it. What else can I do to uninstall this pesky search engine?
