When I go in spotlight search I can find airdrop, but when I open it, it will come up with a error message saying "The operation can’t be completed because the item can’t be found"
Help me
MACBOOK AIR (13-INCH, 2017), macOS Sierra (10.12.6)
Hello josephformica,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you’re having trouble with AirDrop on your Mac. I’m happy to help.
To start, I suggest seeing if the issue persists in another user. You can find instructions here:
How to test an issue in another user account on your Mac - Apple Support
If the issue persists, or if AirDrop has truly been deleted, you’ll have to reinstall macOS to resolve the issue. While this shouldn’t delete any data, I always recommend creating a backup first:

You can find instructions for reinstalling macOS here:

Take care.
How are you trying to "open" it?
All you need to do is, while in Finder, go to Go in the menu bar and you should find Airdrop in the drop down:
click on the Airdrop and a Finder window should open.
AirDrop deleted
