DELETING A THREAT MANUALLY - FINDING THE THREAT

Whenever I do a full scan, Sophos finds the same two threats which need to be manually removed. The trouble is I can't find the location folder of these threats as whenever I search for the filename on my mac they just can't be found.

Does anyone know of a way I can find the path to where these threats are located so I can manually remove them?

Thanks

Thank you very much Andrew for your information on how to delete these 5 threats. 2 of the threats were deleted, but 3 remain. I will dilenate what each of these threats say for your opinion as there might be some slight difference that I do not detect. I did notice that there is a difference under
