macOS Catalina Cleanup: Remove Kexts From /Library/Extensions and Recache

I have Catalina 10.15, without any update.
What steps should I take to upgrade to 10.15.5?
If I remove the kexts from L/E and S/L/E will the operating system boot? I installed it for a long time, with the old MultiBeast....

Thanks a lot in advance!

Follow Post #1 instruction, and you'll be fine.

That is, should I launch MultiBeast 12 on my system and reinstall the bootloader again?

No. If your Clover is up to date, you should be good to go.

I have a Clover 5096, but how does he know that system kexts need to be looked for in /Volumes/EFI/EFI....... ?

Hy guys,

thanks for this guide.
i also found three files which I'm not able to delete:
FileProtect.kext
SelfProtect.kext
TMProtection.kext

Does anybody know how I can delete it?

Cheers Robert
 
Deleted everything unnecessary from L/E - everything seems to work .... Do I need to delete something from S/L/E?
