I was following Adobe Zii on Reddit and I had a few posts saved with info on "how to" and they got banned on Reddit. So now all posts have disappeared. Do you know if this place is the same guys that were on Reddit? https://tntzii.com/how-to-use-adobe-zii/
Can I trust the info on here? Does anyone know?

create an Automator document that runs a shell script rm ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.FinalCutTrial/Data/Library/Application\ Support/.ffuserdata and save it as an application in your /Applications. Then you can launch it using Spotlight/Raycast/Alfred (whatever you use). It will ask about accessing application folders so it does require an additional click but it works fine on 15.7 Sequoia. Hope this helps.

I was trying this "mv -v ~/Library/Application\ Support/.ffuserdata ~/.Trash"
But I got No such file or directory. I am currently using Macbook Air M1

Yes, it does work with Tahoe. Unfortunately I had to upgrade to Tahoe because I forgot to cancel the counter file for FCP and it expired. I had to download it again and you need the latest system now if you want to download. I can still find and see the .ffuserdata file.
