Trying to remove git repo on ubuntu guest

Question

I am trying to remove whole git repository from my local machine, but git prohibits to delete several files.

I\'ve tried:

1. rm -r folder

Answer 1

In my case, for some reason the user immutable flag (uchg) was switched on for everything in the .git folder. This fixed it:

chflags -R nouchg folder/

I could then delete with rm -rf folder/.
