....you need to download the Swift 5 runtime and install separately it in order to run Trim Enabler.

Once the runtime is installed, restart Trim Enabler and it should work as expected.

Is there any other option?

  3. Press enter. A folder will open.

  4. In there, delete the file named org.cindori.TEHelper.
