I noticed that there are a lot of subfolders about several uninstalled apps under ~/Library/Containers. I'm quite sure I do not need these apps any more. But it throws "Operation not permitted" when I'm trying to delete them through `rm`. How can I delete these subfolders since some of them occupying large space?

I always just delete containers within the Finder. I’ve never had an issue deleting one.
it could be because the terminal doesn’t have full disk access, and those are user data
Oh, it works. I deleted them using Finder. Thanks a lot.
You should be able to delete them using the Finder.
Modern Mac security restricts root access to user data. As Barney-15E says, you can get around that with Full Disk Access.
Thanks. I'm using root admin to delete them but it still throw "Operation not permitted". May I ask how you delete them?
How can I delete subfolder in ~/Library/Containers?
