The Compress command is under the File menu of the Finder. I suggest that you Compress (.zip) that “BraveSoftware” folder (if it exists on your Mac - you might show a different folder name). Might have a Brave Browser folder named “BraveSoftware” Users/your_username_aka_shortname/Library/Application Support/ On the other hand, in your user account’s Application Support: For example, there are (Mac OS 10.12.n Sierra) two Brave Browser cache directories that could be moved to the Trash, “BraveSoftware” and “”:Ĭurrently (Sierra example) - there is no “Brave Browser” type folder therein.
