What's wrong with permission on Mojave and Catalina?

[Heineken]

I wanted to delete some folders and typical behaviour used to be that system would ask for admin password, now even if i " get info" on the file or folder where i can clealy see that i have read and write permission i still can't delete and keep getting these erros.

What am i missing? I tried disabling SIP, chmod doesn't work, nothing works.

Any ideas?

Did you try disabling SIP in recovery mode? It can't be done within macOS.

Yes and it doesn't help. I even added my account to the wheel group still nothing. Even as an admin i can't change permission on folders and files that i did not create. what the ****.

In macOS Catalina, most system files are stored on a separate, read-only volume. To modify this volume, you must disable SIP and re-mount the volume as read-write. Be aware that the volume will revert to read-only whenever macOS is rebooted.

You probably shouldn't be deleting system files if you didn't already know this.

Ahh yes, now i remember something about Catalina and read only volumes. This would explain it.

P.S. I know what I'm doing, no worries and thanks.
