There are these two defaults settings, and they don't require root to set them: defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteUSBStores true These are only for stopping Finder from writing .DS_Store files. Anything you delete on macOS will still go in .Trash/ at the root of the drive. -- Andrew Udvare
