#59889 closed defect (fixed)

Update uninstall directions, Catalina and SIP-protections

Description

Even as root, you get various "operation not permitted" errors when following the uninstall directions for catalina here: ​https://guide.macports.org/chunked/installing.macports.uninstalling.html. 

rm: /opt/local//var/macports/home/Library/Preferences: Operation not permitted

The problem is SIP permissions: ​https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/342090/sip-preventing-deletion-of-opt-local

The solution is to simply move the deletion of macports users before the deletion of the directories.

Thank you! On second thought maybe it would be good to mention SIP for the those who are doing something outside of straight following the directions and become confused. Maybe that should be another ticket?

Cancel that i read it more closely and found what you wrote about SIP. Thank you.
