I accidentally deleted one or more Screen Saver files using Find Any File deleting Orphan Aerial files, as this Screen Saver was taking over 42GB on my 256 SSD, and I needed the space for LogicPro's sound library. Aerial has to be kept on boot drive to function and cannot move to an external drive. I tried via symbolic link and alias; and, nothing shows. Uninstalling Aerial from GitHub left about 30 Orphan files behind, and found this a bit upsetting, so, I did a search besides "Aerial"; stupidly I did one using "ScreenSaver"; and, must have accidentally deleted some essential file for Big Sur Screen Saver to show the "Source" menu drop down menu to select what you would like to use, Photos for me.
Attached are ScreenShots to clearly show what I mean. There are so many different Screen Saver files everywhere, I have no idea which one to recover from TM backup. Restored Big Sur By Command-R, after a Disk First Aide-no problems. I thought surely this would restore what files I deleted, as they are just default setting files that would display the source option menu. It did not fix the problem.
I would bless anyone who might please help me fix this! Only the default Screen Savers work.
Best, Zephar
