I accidentally removed the libstdc++.6.0.9.dylib from my usr/lib folder on my Macbook Pro 2020 16" running Catalina 10.15.6. Is anybody able to upload their file so I can download it if they are running Catalina. I am unable to open preferences, open any installers. I am currently trying to download Catalina again so I can use Pacifist to get the file but I am unsure whether this will work. I haven't yet restarted my Mac, I am scared it won't boot back up. The file is located in usr/lib and is a hidden folder. If somebody could upload their file it would be much appreciated.

ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED ASAP THANK YOU. I DID THIS ABOUT 2 HOURS AGO.

If you reboot the machine, it won't boot up again.

Enough parts of the library are loaded into memory for things to work, but when it gets past that, applications will begin to fail.

If you knew /usr/lib is a hidden folder, why were you in there let alone deleting anything?

Here's my file from Catalina 10.15.7.

Raz0r!!! THANK YOU, its true, but check this. I was installing Autotune cracked and it says to replace the file. However it also says to backup the file at the very bottom of the instructions which I missed. Luckily I did some research and found a post here saying that he wasn't able to boot after doing so. Thank you so much, you have really saved me a lot of time!

Next I would suggest you pay for applications you want as opposed to resorting to piracy. We are done here.
