    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Move the following to the Trash and restart.

     

    Close all running apps. Put the following items in the trash:

     

    1) In the ~/Library/ folder, put the Caches folder in the trash.

     

    2) In the ~/Library/Application Support/ folder, put the folder iCloud in the trash.

     

    3) In the ~/Library/Preferences/ folder, put the file MobileMeAccounts.plist in the trash.
