Why not use an application like 'Find Any File'. It will be listed and the applicable .plist can be deleted from there without entering the ~/Library folder.

Most likely because only admin users can modify/Library, and Apple assumes that a user with admin-level privileges will know what he or she is doing. Yes, I realize that’s a questionable assumption, given that the first user account on a Mac is always set up as an admin account."
