I’ve encountered the issue with plugins failing to update and now need to delete the original folder to reinstall the plugin. I am not a developer, so I am not sure how to find my Elementor plugin folder through Local (I can do it in a standard cPanel). Any help is greatly appreciated!

P. S. - I did update to version 2.0.6 for MacOS (Sierra) but to no avail.

Look in your sites folder for the specific site and go to `/app/public/wp-content/plugins`
