The user Library (~/Library) is hidden by default.

Hold the option key and select Finder>Go> Library


or

make visible by select the— "home user icon in the sidebar."

Select View -> Show View Options in the menu bar at the top of the screen.

In the panel that appears, tick the checkbox next to Show Library Folder.



You can drag this Library folder to your Finder sidebar.




or as indicated in the previous post, copy/paste the complete path in the Go To Folder, ex

~/Library

Thanks for the reply. I was able to find the topic for MacOS on their site, it is the process on my computer I was looking for an example of.



If your third party app provides an uninstaller you are best off using that—Reference the developers website if in doubt...

Thanks for you reply. I see how the TurboTax site shows a recommended list of folders and files to remove, I am unfamiliar with how the items once found are displayed in Monterey and what action on my part safely deletes them. Thanks to all for the replies.
