Legacy System Extension Alert on Start Up

For a while now I get this alert every time I start up my Mac. (photo below)

I uninstalled Hindenburg quite some time ago, more than a year ago...so I'm trying to figure out what to do to remove this alert. I've gone into Extensions, Applications, System Report, etc...and I can't find the Hindenburg Extension anywhere. Since I no longer use this application how do I remove it completely from my system?

iMac (2017 – 2020)

In Safe Boot Mode from the Finder>Go>Go to Folder, copy and paste:

 /Library/Extensions


delete the appropriate .kext from there...




If there is an official uninstaller I would always advised use that...

if in doubt search the developers website or contact their: Support/Help/FAQ/Known issues/compatibility/updates/uninstaller
