I am puzzled by the simplest thing.
1. I installed an app from AppStore, called RetroClip.
2. Run it.
3. I tried to uninstall it.

Now, no matter what I try, either using AppCleaner, I cannot remove this leftover file:

Code:
~/Library/Containers/com.realartists.RetroClip/.com.apple.containermanagerd.metadata.plist

I tried sudo + rm, I tried restarting the computer + sudo, it doesn't work.

It's a tiny file, but I just don't want random apps leaving rubbish after themselves. How can I clean this?

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!

Great, it worked, thank you! So probably AppCleaner needs to be updated to ask for it automatically, I guess.
