“Waste” will damage your computer. You should move to trash

I keep getting the message above on my new MacBook.


I followed the instructions in this user tip: About those "<app> will damage your… - Apple Community

to screenshot my LaunchAgent and LaunchDaemon files. Can someone please help me identify which files I should delete?


Thank you so much!



MacBook Air, macOS 14.1

One more folder needs to be examined, as described in About those "<app> will damage your computer" messages - Apple Community.


A total of three separate folders need to be opened. Please review those instructions again, and post the contents of that missing folder.


It is either


~/Library/LaunchAgents


or


/Library/LaunchAgents


If it is empty, you certainly don't need to post a screenshot of an empty folder, but please confirm that you opened it and that it contained no files.
