Folders don't exist for blocked add-ons. If they do, where are they?

I read and followed all the instructions for uninstalling blocked add-ons. Safe mode didn't enable the Uninstall buttons and the folders for blocked add-ons don't exist in either the profile or installation extensions folders. They still show up as installed. Now what?

Where did you find instructions for removing blocked addons?
I have seen articles for un-installing disabled extensions, but not blocked ones.

Specifically which addon are you referring to? Chances are that addon was installed globally, through the Registry, and the actual addon isn't even in any Firefox related folders on your hard drive. That makes it difficult to find.
