Can't start virtual camera after using CleanMyMac by Mac Paw to clean up cache files

[Felippe]

I've used CleanMyMac by MacPaw to free up some space in my Mac and it looks like I deleted some important OBS internal files.

The Virtual Camera will not start no matter what. Already tried uninstalling OBS, restarting computer, emptying all default files to start from blank slate.

When I click in "Start Virtual Camera", OBS asks for my password. When I enter it, it closes the modal and does nothing.

I'm pretty sure I've deleted files that I shouldn't. How can I fix it?

It looks like i don't have this folder `/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Library/CoreMediaIO`, which is where the placeholder.png image folder obs lies (`/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/obs-mac-virtualcam.plugin/Contents/Resources`)

And I can't create it.

When I try `sudo mkdir /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/CoreMediaIO` I get `mkdir: /Volumes/Macintosh HD/CoreMediaIO: Read-only file system`

Edited: I found the solution!

I just created the folder not through terminal, but through Finder itself. I created all folders until `DAL` and started the Virtual Cam again.

When I did that, OBS created the `obs-mac-virtualcam.plugin` and it worked again.
