Hello ubuus,


Thanks for that info and choosing the Apple Support Communities. If I understand correctly, you are unable to delete a file on your MacBook Pro. To help with your issue, use safe mode to start up your Mac as it does the following things:

  • Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed
  • Loads only required kernel extensions
  • Prevents startup items and login items from opening automatically
  • Disables user-installed fonts
  • Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files


Log into your user account and try deleting the file while in safe mode and then restart normally.


Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac
Limited graphics performance in OS X recovery or safe mode


Cheers!
