You terminal tips worked fine; however, I could not find the files installed by 
the Silicon Labs installer.  The problem and reason for wanting to remove 
the SL USB to UART Bridge Drivers is I screwed up and installed the drivers 
on the Mac OS X side and I should have downloaded the Windows version 
and installed them from XP Pro under VMWare or whatever.

I have a new Kenwood TS-590S and Kenwood only offers PC support software
for rig control and firmware updates.  The Kenwood software requires the use
of a virtual COM 3 port and they only offer PC software to create the required 
virtual USB port.

I was advised the Silicon Labs had a new Mac version of the software. To make 
a long shaggy-dog story shorter, I downloaded the OS X version and installed
okay but did not work. The Silicon Labs installer does not have an uninstaller 
and that is why I have been trying to uninstall the OS X drivers.

The good news is under XP Pro I downloaded and installed he correct drivers
and have the Kenwood TS-590S software running on the iMac and I should be
good for the next TS-590s firmware update.  The bad news is trying to undue 
what the Silicon Labs installer put on the iMac.  

When your terminal tip did no find the files, I sent a help request to Silicon
Labs and look forward to a response early next week.  

Thanks again for the help
