Cannot delete iCloudDrive (Archive) folder
I recently have some issues with iCloud sync, so think maybe giving it a shot to turn it off and on.
It turns out it will create a folder named iCloudDrive (Archive). However, I can not seem to delete it anyway.
Error msg pops up: This operations can't be completed because "iCloudDrive (Archive)" needs to be downloaded.
I think it might have sth to do with me stopping iCloud creating its archive folder in the first place. So I ran again - turning off and on immediately and it created "iCloudDrive (Archive) 2". For the third time, I left my Mac the entire night for it to finish download and moving the files. This time it created "iCloudDrive (Archive) 3".
Wired is that I can delete specific file in the folder but cannot seem to delete the folder directory.
Sooooooo, I looked into the permission a little bit. It gives me:
drwxrwxrwx@ 18 lincliu staff 576 Aug 16 19:49 iCloudDrive (Archive)
com.apple.file-provider-domain-id#PN -1
drwx---rwx@ 4 lincliu staff 128 Aug 19 09:25 iCloudDrive (Archive) 2
com.apple.file-provider-domain-id#PN -1
drwx------@ 17 lincliu staff 544 Aug 20 00:48 iCloudDrive (Archive) 3
com.apple.file-provider-domain-id#PN -1
com.apple.fileprovider.pinned#P -1
I tried some ways I found online to remove the extended attributes (the @ sign), but currently nothing has worked....
Anyone has idea what should I do to get rid of those folders? they eat up a lot of space.....
Thanks!! T_T
