How to remove '/home' directory?

Solution 1:

Open the following files with read/write permissions:

/etc/auto_home
/etc/auto_master

These files are part of the autofs installation.

In the auto_home file, add a # before the + on the following line:

+auto_home # Use directory service

In the auto_master file, add a # before the /home on the following line:

/home auto_home -nobrowse,hidefromfinder

Save both files, and reboot your computer. /home should be free to work with.

To reverse the changes, undo what you've done to both auto_master and auto_home.
