is it safe to delete /System/Library/dyld/dyld_shared_cache_arm64e if your Mac is intel x86 processor

recently I have been cleaning cache and unnecessary documents hoping to flush them out of the system and hidden folders. I have used many system cleaners and daisy disk, until I upgraded to MacOS 11 (Big Sur) and daisy disk said that the disk was read only. other system cleaners work but daisy disk and omnidisksweeper aren't working so I have to flush the system by hand. does anyone know how to fix these issues with macOS Big Sur? the file I was hoping to delete has arm64e probably meaning ARM 64bit architecture when I have a intel Mac, so is it safe to delete or are apps like rosseta 2 using this cache for a transition I don't know.

thanks.

The operating system in Big Sur is on a read-only, signed partition. You can delete nothing there, just as Apple has planned it, to keep the darwin award count down.
