How do I completely remove WD Sync Service from my Mac?

On my Activity Monitor I see "WD Sync Service" is taking up 99% of CPU! I used to have WD Good Sync which I thought I had deleted but obviously not all of it was got rid of. Any idea how I can delete it? I used the search bar to try and find it with no luck......

"WD Sync Service"

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


Contact a third-party vendor - Apple Support

third party software

Look for a built-in or in-app uninstaller and use that, not all uninstallers are 100% effective


place to look for pieces, Finder>Go>Go To Folder copy & paste each location:

/usr/local/

/Library/Application Support/

/Library/LaunchDaemons/

/Library/LaunchAgents/
