Removing extension from system preferences

I stupidly removed my WD external drive by dragging it into the trash can and emptying it instead of uninstalling it (I even did that with the uninstaller app without thinking). Now there is a remaining item in my System Preferences extensions. Is there any way to remove it?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.4

I can't test it in 12 at the moment, but look in...


~/Library/Containers/


~/Library/Application Support/


~ tilde indicates  your home folder

Apple hid the Users' Library folders...


Method 1:

  1. From the Finder, select the Go menu at top of the screen, and choose Go to Folder.
  2. In the window that opens, enter ~/Library, and click Go.
