I have a MacBook Pro M1 Max and I was having problem getting my Softraid drive to mount. So I saw a post that said try the beta version. So I did and it didn’t work because my issue was permissions in the system preferences. So I finally got the drive to Mount but when I launch Softraid I get this message:
“Driver Version Warning
The SoftRAID driver which is installed on this Mac is newer than this application. You may want to quit now and use the newer application.”
I can’t remove the driver because the application crashes before I can get to the uninstall driver menu.
I get this message:
SoftRAID Error
An internal part of the SoftRAID Monitor has stopped
functioning properly. Please quit SoftRAID and relaunch it.
How can I remove the driver without using the application?
Thanks so much!

try these steps:
How to manually Remove/uninstall the SoftRAID driver and components:
Paste each command line below into the terminal application. You will need your normal admin password for some steps.
Delete the SoftRAID driver:
sudo rm -r /Library/Extensions/SoftRAID.kext
sudo touch /Library/Extensions
sudo kextcache -fu /
Now, Restart your computer
Remove the daemon and SoftRAID Monitor:
sudo rm /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.softraid.softraidd.plist
sudo rm /Library/LaunchAgents/com.softraid.SoftRAIDMonitor.plist
Remove the SoftRAID application support directory:
sudo rm -r /Library/Application\ Support/SoftRAID
Remove all the SoftRAID preferences:
defaults delete com.softraid.SoftRAID
Remove preference files
sudo rm -r com.softraid.com
reset the extensions caches:
sudo kmutil clear-staging
sudo kextcache -i /
Restart the Mac. SoftRAID volumes will no longer mount on the desktop, but that is temporary, until you reinstall the driver.
When you run SoftRAID to install the driver, do not immediately restart. wait until the dialog box pops up to go to System Preferences/Security. "Allow" OWC as an Identified developer, now restart later when you quit System Preference, go to SoftRAID and restart.
