How to stop Dolphin from using it's paths on Mac?

Hello, I'm a noob with this kind of stuff, and I made a huge mistake when I was setting the paths after installing on my iMac.
I set my path to go to search in Macintosh HD (the Mac equivalent of the C: drive), and I had my 'search subfolders' option on. Now, whenever I try to start Dolphin, nothing shows up and I'm forced to quit Dolphin.
I deleted my build, reinstalled it, and the issue persisted.
Any way to find a way to edit the paths outside of using Dolphin on Mac?
I've searched for the 'Dolphin Emulator' folder, but I haven't been able to find it.
If anyone has dealt with this before, please let me know.

Looks like it is in "~/dolphin-emu". (~ is your home-folder). The easiest way is to delete the Dolphin.ini-File. If you want to keep your settings, in Dolphin.ini, search for RecursiveISOPaths and set it to False. If you want to be extra-sure, delete all lines starting with ISOPath. (With the latter you'll have to re-add the paths, if any)

I've tried to find that folder, but sadly, I haven't been able to find it.

It's supposed to be .dolphin-emu instead of dolphin-emu

No luck with that either. Could it be because I'm using a developer version?

I'm not sure where the folder is on macOS, but it's supposed to be the same both for developer versions and stable versions.

I'm still not sure if something's wrong with Dolphin, but I can't find it.

I forgot that there was a place where I could look up the right path. This should work: ~/Library/Application Support/Dolphin/

(Neui was likely thinking of the folder's name and location on Linux)

I looked at https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/blob/master/Source/Core/UICommon/UICommon.cpp#L153 and thought, DOLPHIN_DATA_DIR is "dolphin-emu", like it is in linux. Just looked further and found https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/blob/master/Source/Core/Common/CommonPaths.h#L21 ...

Sorry for the confusion.
