Restoring from TimeMachine backup fails
I'm having issues restoring from my TimeMachine backup (external hard drive connected via USB).
This is the error I'm seeing:
So I have done some searching and found that other people are having the same issue:
I've attempted deleting the problematic file from the TimeMachine backup as suggested here:

When attempting to do so I get a permission error! I did escalate permissions.

I get the same permission error when attempting to remove the parent directory.
What should I do? Reinstalling MacOS and migrating the user data is not a step I want to take. I want to restore the full backup.
