    Then remove the ”r” in ”-cr”? The .app is like a special zip file or something if I remember correctly. Not a directory

      .app files are directories

        Similar to what the other user mentioned, but slightly different … macOS always had special treatment for .app directories, sometimes giving it special treatments as if it is a file instead of a directory. Does running without the -r bit achieve what you’d want, or you are certain there are files deeper within the directory structure that contains files with extended attributes that you’d want to remove? If there’s specific files inside the structure, are you able to target them individually?
