What is the original problem and with what game do you have it?

Are you on a Mac or a PC?

After all this time, I still have this happening to me. Thank you, this beats uninstalling and reinstalling Origin.

I wrote a batch file for it (yes, I am that old)...

Make a text file on your desktop and rename it to CleanOrigin.bat (or anything your heart desires.

Right-click and choose Edit.

Paste the following text into the text file, save and run it. (at your own risk)

md %temp%\LocalContent
robocopy %ProgramData%\Origin\LocalContent\ %temp%\LocalContent\ *.* /MIR /ZB
del %ProgramData%\Origin\*.* /F /Q /S
rmdir %ProgramData%\Origin\*.* /S /Q
del %appdata%\Origin\*.* /F /Q /S
rmdir %appdata%\Origin\*.* /Q /S
del %userprofile%\appdata\local\origin\*.* /F /S /Q
rmdir %userprofile%\appdata\local\origin\*.* /Q /S

##move backed up data back
md %ProgramData%\Origin\LocalContent
robocopy %temp%\LocalContent %programdata%\Origin\LocalContent *.* /ZB /S

It shouldn’t exist on “My Computer”, just go to the “Library” tab in Finder and make sure when your typing “Application Support” in the search bar that its searching in the “Library” and not “My Computer”.
