macOS has a sealed volume which is why you're seeing permission errors.

- bhouston 2y agoFor some reason "disk-inventory-x" will scan those folders. I used that amazing tool to prune left over Unreal Engine files and docker caches when they put them not in my home folder. The tool asks for a ton of permissions when you run it in order to do the scan though, which is a bit annoying.
- alwillis 2y agoIt’s not obvious but the system folder is on a separate, secure volume; the Finder does some trickery to make the system volume and the data volume appear as one. In general, you don’t want to mess with that.
