Hi, I have created an macOS uninstaller application to delete folder /Library/Containers/{YourApplicationFolder}. Everything inside the folder gets deleted but only the file .com.apple.containermanagerd.metadata.plist is not getting deleted.
please give a solution for this.
The solution was actually to give Full Disk Access to Terminal and AppCleaner.

Look at the extended file attributes with `ls -l@‘
You might try via the command line...
rm -ri /path/to/<folder name>
You have this written as:
/Library/Containers/{YourApplicationFolder}
That would mean the root Library folder, which does not have a Containers subfolder. Did you mean this?
~/Library/Containers/{YourApplicationFolder}
The tilde ~ meaning the Library folder within a user account.
If so, I have to wonder why you would bother to take the time to write an app for that. Anything in a user account can be deleted by the user. It may ask for your admin password before proceeding, but the entire folder and its contents will then always be deleted.
This seems to be a bug in Sonoma. Nothing works, not even `sudo rm -rf`. Even restarting the computer + `sudo rm` doesn't work. Those files are stuck!
Unable to delete folder /Library/Containers/{YourApplicationFolder}
