Help Delete Drivers

[Hicks.]

Hello,

I stupidly tried to install an app to use my iPhone as a webcam (working form home issues) because my MacBook Pro camera doesn't work. The app is called PocketCam and it's made by Senstic. I tried to use their dedicated uninstaller and it has left behind two drivers and annoyingly they show up in the Volume menu bar:

I have tried to Google a solution and used terminal command "kextstat" to show the drivers. They showed up as:

com.senstic.driver.PocketAudioDevice (1.2) 49E4E01A-1C19-35CB-8346-0A080CC6EC16 <99 6 5 3>

com.senstic.driver.PocketCamDevice (1.0.0) B7EF85B2-8CD2-3E88-B4EE-1002DCA0997F <102 101 59 8 6 5 3>

I then tried to use command "sudo kextunload" to unload them (which I assume has the same effect as deletion) but it hasn't worked. For clarity, this is what I typed into Terminal:

"sudo kextunload com.senstic.driver.PocketAudioDevice"

I have tried to find the hidden files and deleted a bunch, but after a restart the drivers are still there.

Please help!

Thanks. I have I think unloaded them now, but to remove them Terminal stated:

Hicks@MacBook-Pro ~ % sudo rm -r /Library/StagedExtensions/Library/Extensions/PocketAudioDevice.kext
Password:
override rw-r--r-- root/wheel restricted for /Library/StagedExtensions/Library/Extensions/PocketAudioDevice.kext/Contents/_CodeSignature/CodeResources?


Any ideas?

Try sudo rm -rf /Library/StagedExtensions/Library/Extensions/PocketAudioDevice.kext

Try sudo rm -rf /Library/StagedExtensions/Library/Extensions/PocketAudioDevice.kext

That's done the trick - thank you very much.
