DIY: Find and delete files in recovery mode yourself (macOS)

Learn how to find and then remove .kext files from your mac.

Actually; you can remove anything - but this is inteded as a support video for those wishing to remove iShowU Audio Capture, or even Soundflower.

Jump to the last recap if you're somewhat comfortable or experienced with Terminal on the mac.

Otherwise; I recommend watching the video to get a feel for how to use the various commands in Terminal to:

1. Find what you're looking for
2. Delete said thing (safely!)

I spend QUITE some time going through examples here. I know this'll be useful for some, and others will find it boring. Hence the many chapter marks.

Hope some of it is useful to you!
