Can't remove Command Line Tools

Thanks for the tips, @Shamino. I found the receipts in the same place you did.

After reading the discussion at the above link I am hesitant to disable SIP though, not least because the posts are all previous to macOS 26.

Maybe I am being too cautious?

If something goes wrong, would reinstalling the OS fix it?

[Edit:] I tried deleting the receipts, and they do seem to be protected by SIP.
