Any bluetooth? There has been some reporting it has been a problem. Supposedly OS 12.2.1 Monterey fixes the problem. Your '15 MBP is new enough for Monterey. Caution, though, any 32 bit apps will not run. (Go64 will tell you if you do)

After a restart, without opening any app, what does Activity Monitor say is running &/or taking energy?

Glad you got it figured out. You might have mis-understood my term, though. A hard reset does not delete anything. It only fixes 'hiccups' it the iOS system. For your iPhone 11: Volume up, volume down, push and hold the power button until screen goes blank and the Apple logo starts. ONLY then...

Have you tried a hard reset?

WOW!!!! That space did it! Although, I had to type password that didn't appear to take, but apparently it did. Then I had to answer 'yes'. (Changing permissions was not possible, as all greyed out) All 5 deleted!!! (FWIW, before I did the above, I created a folder on desktop and dragged...

To DeltaMac, Yes on Terminal. Here's what it says: Last login: Wed Jan 19 14:27:58 on ttys000 steve@Stephens-MacBook-Pro ~ % sudo rm -R/Users/steve/Desktop/Microsoft_AutoUpdate_4.7.19011500_Updater.pkg Password: rm: illegal option -- / usage: rm [-f | -i] [-dPRrvW] file ... unlink file...

That is not the problem. I use EasyFind. I can see, and know exactly, where they are! I cannot delete them.

The 4 hidden ones are bad enough, but I have one on my desktop that I cannot move or delete. It's starring me in the face laughing it's ass off! Every time I try to move it, all it wants to do is copy itself! :(

Scratch that last resort idea! I've been to 2 different MS forums, and it seems the Microsoft AutoUpdate opening several times a day is very common--dating back a year! Only solution is to delete app, which I have. No mention of the hidden files that I have, however, as 99% of the responders...

Well... Disabling SIP did not work! I did learn something new, however. M1 Macs cannot startup in Recovery mode using Command+R; that is only for Intel Macs. To start in Recovery mode on M1 Macs; after Shutdown, not Restart, press & hold the startup button (in my case, the finger used for...

7.3, 6.2, 6.2, 6.1 MB. 25.8MB altogether. That's quite large in my book. :) I found instructions online to do that. Will attempt in a bit. Thanks! For those interested: #3 in this. https://nektony.com/how-to/remove-apps-protected-by-sip

I have deleted Microsoft AutoUpdate app and many 'periferials', but 4 large files remain as they are locked and cannot be unlocked, at least bye traditional methods. Any idea how? (if they were small, I'd let them ride, but they are quite large! These are the files, and one of the 'Get Info's'...

Restart should be #1

Whew! It's the little things in life that are the most satisfying! Thank you.

Simple question that I cannot find anywhere! Please--where is it. New MBP and cannot find setting anywhere to get the item count along the botton of any folder I open. Always had it on my old MBP, but somehow lost it. (Have tried finder prefs, all system prefs, and even all of TinkerTool)

WELL...The internet, and YouTube is the definitive answer to all questions. "It must be true, I saw it on the internet".

I've done many of my own for years. Batteries; keyboards; fans; hard drives. Parts have been available thanks to Other World, iFixit, Powerbook Medic, etc.

MBP & iPhone. (read my 'signature') I sync with iCloud partially. Not Safari. (I could, though). Don't I have to delete all the phone's bookmarks 1st???
