I was having a sync issue between computers so i uninstalled box drive. One shortcut didn't disappear, and looking into it, it is a temp file in private/var/T (can't remember the entire path). It's over 200GBs and if i try to delete, it give me an error that says "The operation can't be completed because "[file name]" needs to be downloaded. HOW DO I FIX THIS. Box Drive is already uninstalled using the terminal command. Thanks

Uninstalled Box Drive but Private/var files remain and cannot be deleted
I was able to force delete this, but it did not result in reclaimed HD space. I need some help here.
Hi Kara,
Welcome to the Box Community!
May I confirm, if you followed this article to uninstall Box Drive from your computer?: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044196293-Uninstalling-Box-Drive
Can you try to reboot your mac and see if there are still traces of Box Drive from your computer after booting the device?
Looking forward to hear from you!
Best,

Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!
