Unable to delete leftover folder from recent trial-instalation of Bitdefender: Macintosh HD > Library > Application Support > Bitdefender
"Move to Trash" yields "The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items."
Unlocking the "Get Info" panel does not allow me to change privileges.
How can I remove this folder?
Many thanks!
MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.13
You should use the BitDefender uninstaller to remove BitDefender.
If you install something with an installer, you must use an uninstaller to remove it.
If they do not provide an uninstaller, you should not install the app in the first place.
If that is the case, contact BitDefender support.

How about their uninstaller?
Yes, their UN-installer.

Thanks, Old Toad!
A brilliantly simple fix.

So, it didn't actually fully uninstall the program?
Boot into Safe Mode (How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support) by booting with the Shift key held down and see if you can delete it from there. Reboot normally when done.
NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 10 minutes as it's doing some system cache cleaning, volume verifying and directory repairing.
