Where is my root-level library?

[beaugester]

Hi-
I need some help finding my root-level library. I know this is fraught wth risk but is necessary to access an uninstall function for a specific app in the root-level application support folder. I have already done this once successfully but cannot find the web page instruction I used to access the root-level library using the GO> GO TO FOLDER command. How do I do this, Every online reference I can find only gives instruction for using the OPTION-GO command to reveal the system library, But THAT app support folder doesn't have the uninstall function I need. Anyone? Thanks for your help.
Running OS Sierra.

In Finder, hold option, and click on Go in the top menu bar. You should then have the Library folder option available.

No, as I said in my original post, option-go does not give me the root-level library.

Post moved to its own thread.

Your root level library is at the system level and not hidden:

1. /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Library/

2. /Volumes/Macintosh HD/System/Library/

You need to search in both of these places for whatever uninstaller function you're looking for.

Forgive my ignorance on the subject .... but what is a root level library ?
( If it isn't a folder )

You are also mentioning not having " the uninstall function you need. "... What uninstall function do you need ?

Option-Go is used to access the currently logged in User Account's Library folder.

Root Level is the highest point in the "Directory Tree". The OP wants to access the Library folder located at the top level.

What version of Mac OS X/OS X/macOS are you currently using?

What version of Mac OS X/OS X/macOS are you currently using?

It doesn't matter because all versions of OS X have their root library located as I indicated above in post #4. That is if he really means the root library and not something else?

I'm going to break one of my first rules here and assume that maybe the OP is trying to get access to something in their /usr/bin folders.

I'd suggest using Find Any File.app to get there or just use it to find and delete the wanted files/folders:
