I held both ends in one hand & ran hot water over the remaining 5ish feet while rubbing as best as I could. Dried with clean dish cloth. Not a great result, but acceptable. Dear Apple, Please make the fabric covered MagSafe 3 cord black or dark grey instead of pure white! It won't show dirt...

New 16" MBP. The MagSafe 3 charger cord is now fabric covered. My cord is quite dirty, and was wondering if anyone has tried to clean theirs yet. And with what? A few years ago, i wiped down the cord from my old MBP, and the covering started to deteriorate. I do not want to go that route again...

Just a remnant from before. Hold down the "Control" key And click it. Dialogue should pop up to delete it.

IMHO, you are making much ado about nothing! Use your external 2TB external SSD as a Time Machine backup and don't attempt to muck up your system. I cannot remember any data loss during a system upgrade in the many years I have been doing them since my Apple IIc days.

"...bit like War & Peace, just a slightly shorter version". Maybe not. It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings. :oops:

For that matter, Alsoft's DiskWarrior would be my 1st go-to for disk repair. Alas, though, I believe it is dead forever for current Macs.

Perhaps a User Group would be of assistance if one is fairly near you. https://www.apple.com/usergroups/

Yes, they are actual people. ANS...they speak English! Yes, you can book a time of your convenience. I don't work for Apple, so I do not know the prices, or the particular expertise of what you are looking foe, but Apple can assist you on the phone. AFTER you purchase a Mac, you are entitled to...

FWIW, the Geniuses at the Apple store MAY be a help here. Visit and see if they have a genius familiar with what you want. Make an appointment for when you want (and also, they would be prepared. Pay for an hour or so. MIGHT be well worth the $. Welcome back to the fold---hopefully!

I defer to the master! :)

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! :(
