How Do I Remove a plist File?
How do I remove the plist file outlined in green in the attachment😕? Step-by-step instructions, please.
Mac OS X (10.5.8)
Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, provide /Library/Preferences/ as the path, and throw that file away.

First, open Finder, select Go menu > Go to Folder, type /Library/Preferences and delete that file. It's deleted as other files
Select the file by clicking on it once with the mouse. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the selection and choose Move to Trash from the context menu. Or select the file and drag it to the Trash.
How do I find the file to click in the first place?
After opening the folder, view the window as a list and scroll through it until you find the file. The way to get to the folder is to provide /Library/Preferences/ and only that as the path in the Go to Folder command.

In the Finder window, click on "Your Computer Name" (House icon)>Library>Preferences> (preference name)
After you drag the file to the Trash (or Desktop), Restart your computer. Otherwise the preference is still active.
What sort of problem are you having?
Cheers, Tom 😉
I clicked on: Your Computer Name (House icon)>Library>Preferences> I did find these two preferences:
1. com.epson.a837.plist
2. com.epson.ijprinter.utility.plist (Am I supposed to delete/trash these two .plist preferences?)
However, I didn't find the four .plist preferences I was looking to delete, which are:
1. com.epson.Inkjet Printer Driver.UnInstallList.plist
2. com.epson."EPSON Scan UnInstallList.plist
3. com.epson.Epson Event Manager.UnInstallList.plist
4. com.epson.PC-FAX Driver.UnInstallList.plist
Thanks to Niel, mende1, Kappy, Texas Mac Man!! With your assistance, I finally figured out how to do it.
Happy New Year to you all!!
