Path to the Folder where Widgets are stored!
Part of CoreServices

The widgets are stored within /System/Library/CoreServices. They are plug-ins of small applications of the same name.

Finding Widgets

Widgets contain an Info.plist file containing the text com.apple.widget-extension. You can use this text to search for other widgets.

A full disk search from the command line would be:

grep -r 'com.apple.widget-extension' /


System Integrity Protection

Note that these widgets are protected by macOS's System Integrity Protection (SIP). This means you can not remove these widgets without first disabling SIP.

Apple recommends you do not modify the contents of the /System folder on your Mac. Changing the contents of this folder can result in unexpected behaviour from macOS.
