[HELP] macos10.13 mediaanalysisd High CPU Usage

Yesterday I have updated my mbp from 10.12 to 10.13, after the completion of the update, I suspect a weird high cpu usage.

From the Activity Monitor it shows that mediaanalysisd is using 140% of the CPU (as attached)

What is it causing this problem and how to fix it?

Some people mentioned here by deleting the /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.mediaanalysisd.plist and restart it should work, but the problem it's that I couldn't even delete or move this plist file.

I, found com.apple.mediaanalysisd.plist in System/Library/LaunchAgents/. No option to delete it in Finder. Maybe can do it with Terminal?

OK, tried terminal rm command (after making a backup copy!), and I got this:

override rw-r--r-- root/wheel restricted,compressed for /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.mediaanalysisd.plist?

Entering my password did nothing.

Also tried sudo rm -rf /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.mediaanalysisd.plist

.. and that got me "Operation not permitted."

Bummer.
