Mac mini (M1, 2020)
Thank you I will try that next.
Where is this folder located? macOS has implemented a lot of new security features preventing anyone even an admin or root user from modifying certain locations. Most locations outside of the "/Users" folder is off limits these days and are locked even to admin/root users.
If you are trying to uninstall an app, then make sure to use the app's uninstall feature or by following the app developer's instructions for uninstalling the app (usually should provide their own uninstaller app).

You might try booting into the Recovery mode (How to Boot an M1 Mac into Recovery Mode) and run the Terminal delete command from there.
