Update Blocked

Whenever I run Burp Suite Professional and either choose an existing project or create a new I get the following error Update blocked An update is available, but we are unable to install it because your Burp Suite installation directory /Applications/Burp Suite Professional.app, or one or more of its subdirectories, contains Burp project (.burp) files. Running the installer would permanently delete these files. Please move any .burp files out of your installation directory tree, then go to Help > Check for updates to try again. I deleted all the burp files I could find, and still get the message It is showing the project files exist in the folder /Applications/Burp Suite Professional.app/Contents/Resources/app/ How do I access this folder to remove or move these .burp files? and whenever I choose to create a new project file it stores it there.

Hi If you right click the icon for your burp Suite Professional installation in your applications folder, you can choose 'Show package contents'. This should allow you to navigate the folder structure and see what is contained in the /Applications/Burp Suite Professional.app/Contents/Resources/app/ folder. If you want to check any details with us and share any screenshots, feel free to email support@portswigger.net.
