Q: How do you delete com. files if you know the name but cannot find their file location?
Hello I recently entered this into my terminal command:
pkgutil --pkgs | grep fuse
kextstat | grep fuse
This is what popped up:
com.github.osxfuse.pkg.Core
com.github.osxfuse.pkg.PrefPane
com.google.macfuse.core
I want to delete these com. files but I cannot find them on my system anywhere? Does anyone know how I can find them or how to delete them via the terminal? Thank you!

Look in these folders:
/Library/Extensions/
/System/Library/Extensions/
/Home/Library/Preferences/
/Home/Library/Applications Support/
/Library/Applications Support/
I believe they actually may activate or attempt to activate OS X Fuse unless they are in the Preferences or Applications Support folders. Now, you may understand why I would recommend Easy Find. Spotlight won't find anything located in system folders unless you make a specific configuration for it. Easy Find is free and fast.
