    Hi, I want to delete VMware and Octave files on /usr/share/file/magic. However, even disabling SIP and simultaneously activating Root is not possible to delete VMware and Octave files on that directory. Is because de volume is read-only? Anyone knows any workaround to delete it? Thanks

    Can't delete folders from backups?!
