Getting rid of the popup

I can't seem to get rid of the NOT OPTIMIZED popup. I deleted the program a long time ago, but still says' not optimized ' every update

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.14

Which App?

EtreCheck is a simple little app to display the important details of your system configuration and allow you to copy that information to the Clipboard. It is meant to be used with Apple Support Communities to help people help you with your Mac.

Pastebin is a good place to paste the whole report...

Workable but harder for me to work with...the Note tool on the bottom of this editor's toolbar, as shown in the image, to copy and paste the output from EtreCheck.

I believe this did it.

I couldn't intrinsically find the path to do a low level delete on Mac, only Windows. The tree isn't set up the same way

We will see if it worked next update, but I assume it will as I followed the directions and it all seemed seamless,

Thank you!

I'm somewhat embarrassed for not getting it right the first time.

What app would that be? It sounds like you didn't uninstall it completely.

Nevermind. I didn’t see your full post. I’m on an iPhone. It was hard to see.
