After discovering I lack storage and trying to trove through my data to see what I can delete I stumbled across a thread telling me of a secret file in my Library - accessed through CMD + Shift + G. I also used terminal to pinpoint where my big data problem files were and I found this:

19G in "/users/tombrook/Library/Ethereum". Which I assumed was in my secret folder, but I cannot find that Ethereum folder ANYWHERE. 19G sitting there, taking up space is stressing me out. I can't download WoW.

Does anyone know how it's possible to delete this problematic data? I do not have any Ethereum to my name anymore so I'm not afraid of a cull.

Thanks in advance,

Tom

edit - I spelt Ethereum wrong many, many times.
 
Just type:

sudo rm -rf /users/tombrook/Library/Ethereum

Into a terminal. Make sure you type the path EXACTLY, or you’re going to have a bad day.
