    Beta 2 does not allow this because the root directory has 700 permission, no non root access, so I fortunately multiple boot so I mounted the Beta 2 filesystem from antiX 23.2, then I removed the directory. You could also boot live, mount the filesystem and remove /root/. synaptic remotely.

    By the way, there is no space between the /root and the .synaptic, despite the way it appears. Hopefully you will be successful in removing this old style directory for the synaptic package manager. The new location is the hidden directory .config beneath /root; there is a synaptic (no double hidden directory, it’s /root/.config/synaptic in place of /root/.synaptic).

    Using MX installed on the same device, could find no such file in root.

    There was only usb-storage [hidden files]

    Tried a file search with nothing found.
