Hidden folders

[Septercius]

nothing, as far as I can see. I dont really know what it shall do

It should print out the names of any matching files it finds. For example, if I do a search in my "Downloads" folder for files with a .DAT extension:

iMac:Downloads XXX$ find . -name "*.DAT" -print
./FWUP0005.DAT
./XFUP0004.DAT
./XFUP0013.DAT

What happens if you try the following:

cd /
sudo find . -iname "*Outlook\ for\ Mac\ Archive*" -print

This will search your entire computer for items whose file names include the text "Outlook for Mac Archive". It will prompt you for the password you use to log in. It may take a while to finish - you can press CTRL-C to cancel.

I'd also try connecting any external drives in case Sophos is picking anything up from cached information it has.

[doublepost=1512150055][/doublepost]Thank you very much. Loads to try there. I’m working away so probably Monday before I get to have a look at that. I’ll let you know how that goes.
