Consider Using EtreCheck - Apple Community. At your option, you can copy and paste its report in a reply to this Discussion. It is likely to identify the cause, and may offer to remove it. It may also elicit helpful suggestions from other ASC participants.
EtreCheck does not modify your Mac in any way and can simply be dragged to the Trash when you're finished using it.
