[All] ASAP action needed -- Clean up after the recent set of upgrades

[Chirica, Dan C. (ARC-SGG)]

Hello, this action is useful for all of us to perform. However, is urgently needed by Erin C., Caitlin, Katie, and Leslie because your computers show up on the block list for the Chrome vulnerability because a copy of Chrome was saved in these folders and is picked up by the Code I reporting tools (silly I know). These folders are created as a result of macOS upgrades. If curios you can read here https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/a-relocated-items-folder-mac-upgrading-macos-mchl8ae423a3/mac more about this.

Clean up procedure:

  1.  Open a Finder window
  2.  Command-Shit-G to open the file navigation field …

  1.  Type /Users/Shared/ (or copy and paste) and hit enter. You should see something similar in the screen grab above.
  2.  Select all the folder and delete them, then (important) empty the Trash …
