macOS Sequoia is now available
I see that I have two apps, called Backservice.app and Smartdaemon.app. They are contained in an application folder called CleverFiles.
What are they doing, how did they get there, and can I just delete them?
I don't have a program 'DiskDrill' that some think it is that installed them. There is no uninstaller in the package content.

You're welcome. The only other app I found during a search mentioned IBoostUp which supposedly installed a CleverFiles folder. It's hard to say if it's okay to delete the folders or even if you can without knowing what installed them. If you have a Time Machine or other backup you can always restore them if you throw them away. You can also move them to the Trash then restart and see if it causes a problem. Make sure you have a backup in any case.
They could have also been installed by one of their other utilities. See the Cleverfiles website.
Thanks for the hint, but that website does not ring a bell, be it that I might have wanted an app to restore an SD card.
But then I can remove the app again, drag them to the bin?
What are the CleverFiles apps doing?
