The wallet file is now called default_wallet (assuming your version of electrum is up to date). Try to search for that.

  • Open Finder
  • Go > Go to folder (shift+cmd+G) and type ~/.electrum

Rename the default_wallet file that is inside the wallets folder and then it'll create a new file for you to restore from your seed
