Be able to delete obsolete system extensions installed by deleted outdated apps

=========
example: an unremittingly stubborn beta extension installed into > Library/SystemExtensions by early beta of obdev mini-snitch into Monterey, since updated to Ventura and app has been deleted multiple times. Can not remove that crap no matter what. Need a tool that allows such items to be removed by regular fairly knowledgeable users who are not experts.

The solution on the ob-dev.at site does not work.

Yes it may need a warning and a backup reminder, maybe move to desktop but the dang thing can't be removed by mere mortals.

Thanks.

If I understand this correctly, you want to be able to find files from deleted apps? If so this is defiently something I can look to add. If the problem is that you can't even delete the stuff as an admin that might be another issue.
