How to remove "Reminders.app" from Mac OS?
How can I delete the folder "Reminders.app" from Mac OS when the current permissions assigned to the folder is currently Read Only for everyone and Read & Write for system?
I've tried sudo / terminal, attempted to change permissions via the finder and all attempts to dislodge the folder result in access denied. Is rebooting into a special unprotected mode required?
Solution 1:
All the default apps are protected by System Integrity Protection.
To disable System Integrity Protection, you can do the following:
- Boot into the Recovery HD by restarting whilst holding ⌘R.
- Open Terminal (from the Utilities menu).
Run the following command in Terminal:
csrutil disable
- Restart.
Source: Disable OS X El Capitan Rootless and permit write actions to System Integrity Protection locations
You can re-enable it once you've deleted the app.
