Deleting .plist files is considered barbaric. MacOS intended you to use its elegant graphical user interface and settings for most controls.

I would guess there are about 750 .plist files active on your Mac right now.

Exactly what .plist file are you after, and why do you need to access this specific .plist file?

what is this supposed to do?

What exactly, in detail, it the problem? Any error messages? Why do you want to delete the file? If it's not causing problems; leave it alone.

If you just can't do that, I suggest you reinstall the OS.

Hello. Have you been able to solve the problem? Sorry for the stupid question, but where can I find the plist configuration file in the system?
