log in items keep reappearing

24" Mac 16 GB, Ventura vs 13.1. I have gone to Login Items Settings and unchecked the box that allows these to run in the background. I no longer have the wacom tablet (it was on an older computer and the files were most likely transferred to the new one.) A search for wacom on my hard drive yields nothing but I found the files in LaunchDaemon and LaunchAgent. Is it safe to delete them from there or will it mess up my computer? Should I just leave them alone? There are four different items with the wacom table in login items; iomanager, updatehelper, technology corp, and tablet driver.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Yes, it is safe to delete them, then restart your mac.

Thank you Luis. I also found some items in three other places beside launchdaemon and lauchagent.

-/Library/Container

-/Library/Caches

-/Library/Preferences

I have deleted them all and will now empty trash and restart to see if that takes care of the problem.

Wacom no longer shows up on the login items settings so I am hopeful.

Again thank you for your help.

Luis, this solved the problem and I thank you so much. I did have to delete the other files I found in container, caches, and preferences but it worked.
