Finding Orphan File on My Mac

I've been trying to find a file that will not work under future versions of Mac OS. The file is called SonyAutoLauncher, an orphan file related to an app that worked with an older Sony digital camera. Can someone tell me how to find this file so I can delete it?


Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

iMac 27", macOS 10.14

From the context of your question I surmise you are looking for a 32 bit app so that you can delete it. If that's the case you can use System Information (Apple menu > About This Mac > System Report) then Software > Applications.


In it, you will find a sortable 64-Bit (Intel) column. Locate the file and select it. Its path will be shown adjacent to Location.


You can select that path by dragging, and use the contextual menu (two-finger tap) to navigate directly to it: Services > Show in Finder.
