Can I delete files from my Library?

Hi, Good Morning to everyone. I had installed Malwarebytes and thought I deleted it all but then I found a folder "Malwarebytes" in my Library and I put it in the trash. I also put in the trash ThorMainDBVer which is a mac malware download of some kind. I'm sending you pictures of what's in my trash so you can see what I put there. I'm not sure if it's safe for me to delete these. If anyone knows please tell me what to do. I am reluctant due to the 2 folders with the red dots. Thank you

.

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), using WiFi Connection

Use these instructions to completely uninstall Malwarebytes:

You may have to reinstall to uninstall. But why do you want to uninstall it?

I would use macjack's instructions for Malwarebytes. Restart the computer and if everything operates normally, you can empty the Trash.

Those Thor folders are not related to Malwarebytes, so uninstalling Malwarebytes won’t help with those. They may be related to a fake antivirus app called Thor Antivirus, but I’ve never observed those folders being created by Thor Antivirus, so they may be coincidentally named.

I'm not sure what those are, but as Eric says if you remove Malwarebytes and everything else operates as expected, yes.

Thank you for your help with Malwarebytes, do you know if I can delete the ThorMainDBVer, ThorSecondayDB and Thor SecondaryUpDB Folders. In both 2nd folders when I click on them there is a secondary.db iTunes.app Document that is in there also.
