File Provider / Google Drive undeletable folder
For days I have been having a problem with an old Google Drive account in File Provider that will not go away. This has led to a couple of apps (primarily Logic Pro) crashing when trying to navigate the computer's internal drive.
I removed Google Drive from the Applications folder, then removed all Google references from the root Library and my user Library (Application Support, Caches, CloudStorage, Containers, Group Containers, LaunchAgents, Preferences)
Upon restart, Logic no longer freezes on launch. However, as soon as I reinstall Google Drive, this one Google Drive account returns to ~/Library/CloudStorage before I even log in to any accounts. And once again the problems with Logic Pro resume.
I no longer have access to this Google account so I am unable to log in to the account in order to 'Disconnect' it properly from within the Google Drive app, which appears to be the proper way to de-register accounts from File Provider.
I need some Terminal command that can manually de-register this account from File Provider, as it appears as soon as Google Drive is re-installed.
Again, I can only delete it after Google Drive is uninstalled from the computer. It is NOT affected by the removal of Google/DriveFS in Applicatiioon support or Library/Preferences, or removal of any of the other Google files I have found in the folders listed above.
