Macos – OSX: Operation not permitted

macospermissionszsh

on my mac os system (v. 10.9.3) I wanted to uninstall my zsh so first of all I executed the uninstall script in zsh.
This failed so I wanted to delete the affected files by my own and am stuck here.

Everytime i try to rm the .oh-my-zsh directory or the .zsh_history (or any other file) file i get :

rm: /Users/username/.oh-my-zsh: Operation not permitted

I already tried to check for osx flags, but no flags are set (with ls -lO).

Also I tried to give the directory full permission (755) but the deletion also fails.

Does anybody know how to deal with this?
Thanks a lot.

EDIT:

see answer, was able to resolve this on my own.

Ok, i was able to resolve this on my own..

Somehow I had the nouchg flag on my home directory. So not the files inside had this flag but the Users/username directory.

So doing this:

sudo chflags nouchg username/

i was able to delete the files.

Thanks for your input.
