When I try to delete an item on my Mac, I get an error message saying access denied. Plus when I try to delete an item by moving it to trash, a message comes up that says item will be immediately deleted in trash. All this happened just today.
iMac 27″ 5K, macOS 13.0
Two things are happening with Trash that came about suddenly;
i have tried restarting in Safe Mode ,and also doing the Get Info protocol and extending Read Write Permissions. I emptied Trash as well.
is there anything else o can do?
your first step, adjusting permissions, should fix the "access denied" problems once you get that correct.
The second issue, that files are deleted immediately, sometimes occurs when File Sharing is enabled. File Sharing creates a classical "multiple Readers and Writers" issue.
Maintaining File status for multiple Readers and Writers is very complex. The way MacOS deals with that is to immediately delete the file.
This is because Trash-ing a file normally only sets the 'In-the-Trash' bit, and adds the file to a list of Items 'In-the-Trash', which is generally local to the Drive where the file resides. The file is not moved or changed otherwise. Making certain every remote reader knows the 'In-the-Trash': status of every file being shared proved overly complex, and the solution is simply to delete the file immediately. In that way, the file status is never in doubt for any Reader or Writer, local or remote.
that depends on exactly what file you are trying to move to trash, and where that file is located.
