Pop up message after installing software

I keep getting this pop up message after installing MacOs Monterey on my laptop. When I look at it in Finder the folder is empty and it won't let me delete it? I am not sure what to do it is very annoying. Does someone know how to get rid of it?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.7

Yes , I do see them - Thank you


But, unfortunately there are several other issues appearing in your screen shots


None of them are good and to be honest


Some of them are more serious that the nagging Pop Up that do not go away


I see " CleanMyMac " aka BrickMyMac installed


Also see "F-Secure " a Third Party Security AntiVirus Software Installed


Once this types of software are installed and embedded into the computer 


Start Over from Scratch 


Heavy Handed - Yes ?


Effective - Yes


For Apple Intel computers >>   Use Disk Utility to erase an Intel-based Mac followed by How to reinstall macOS


Always make a Time Machine Backup  before  proceeding 


If going this route - I suggest Not using Startup Assist to migrate everything back.


This will probably Re-Introduce ( CleanMyMac and F-Secure ) back into the Operating System
