I'm seeking some guidance on recovering from my accidental deletion of files from /usr/standalone/firmware on my M2 MacBook running Ventura 13.0. The removal was by an app called [Sonoma Cache Cleaner](https://www.northernsoftworks.com/sequoiacachecleaner.html) After rebooting, none of my apps worked normally: - some wouldn't open - Firefox was able to run briefly but crashes promptly - Terminal.app crashed at one point during my recovery efforts I was able to recover the lost files with [Disk Drill](https://www.cleverfiles.com) Files recovered are mostly **.img4** files. As well as a kernelcache (System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kernelcahes/kernelcache) I have tried various methods to copy the recovered files to */usr/standalone/firmware* I'm aware that modifiying System files is risky. I disabled SIP with: csrutil authenticated-root disable --- **Update** Just tried a reinstall with SIP disabled. It canceled at 8 mins left with this message: > An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running the application again
