[Solved] Youtube app crashes - couldn't find it to delete it

I had a YouTube App showing up in my Launcher, and I wanted to watch a YouTube, so I clicked the App.

It crashed with a report about a strange app named blpcfgokakmgnkcojhhkbfbldkacnbeo.app


I couldn't delete the app with option in launcher, and I couldn't see it in the Applications folder either.


Using finder to search for blpcfgokakmgnkcojhhkbfbldkacnbeo found it which allowed me to drag it to the trash.


Finder also found that name in a weird file called "Mac mini.spx" which I also trashed.


No more fake YouTube app in Launcher, and there is no AppStore YouTube App for Mac so learned my lesson - play YouTubes in the browser when on my Mac.

Mac mini 2018 or later
