There should be no /Library/Applications folder.


/Library/Application Support/com.apple.TCC is normal. Leave it alone.


Do not do anything, install anything, or use anything in a misguided effort to delete it.

Yeah. TCC stands for "Transparency, Consent, and Control", and you can see Ivan Krstic, the guy who heads Security Engineering and Architecture at Apple, talking about it in this video at Apple's World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC) in 2016.

So, it's been around for at least that long, and is part of the system. There have been exploits that attacked TCC, since it is one of the system components that "controls" what things an app can do, but you don't want to remove or break the actual system component.
