OpenCore Legacy Patcher leaving traces in Native Ventura

[macpeach55]

Hello All,
A little unusual but I hope someone can help. I have a late 2013 27" iMac running Big Sur via OCLP. I just bought an M2 Mac mini running native Ventura & used a Time Machine back-up from the iMac to get everything onto the Mac mini. All good except on start-up I get a flurry of these messages. It seems to be something left behind from OCLP - EFI is empty, and these are probably from the root patcher section. Anyone know how I can get rid of this?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts

Does that app show in System Settings login items? If so you may be able to delete it from there.

I’ve said it before, restoring from backups is like taking the trash from your old house into your new home. Just as well, you could have migrated malware from your old Mac to your new Mac. Take only the files/folders you need from the old system.

Regarding background items, check the contents of
~/Library/LaunchAgents
/Library/LaunchAgents
/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools

Not always practical although the best way if you can. Reinstalling Apps from scratch can take a lot of time. Many apps have data which is stored in different places and that will be lost if you wipe everything. It is very time consuming to find out which folders they were using and restoring them. For example I have a power monitoring app which can give me power usage and cost over any specified time period. That data would be lost with a disk wipe and I have no idea where it is stored. It would take significant time to find it.

Possible solutions:
- contact the developer
- drag the app into a AppCleaner, or a similar app, to identify its related files

- use EasyFind or find from Terminal

find https://ss64.com/osx/find.html
- look into ~/.config

Possible solutions:

Sure. Maybe possible for one app. But for ~200 of them?
