Hello 9lsbuch,
Thanks for that info and for choosing the Apple Support Communities. If I understand correctly, you are unable to move a file from one folder to another folder on your MacBook Pro, as you get an error message. To help isolate this, use safe mode to start up your Mac as it does the following things:
Log in to your user account and test the issue while in safe mode and then restart normally and test the issue again.
Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac
Graphics performance limited in macOS Recovery, safe mode, or Guest User mode
Cheers!

Hi MichelleT18
Yes, I couldn't copy, move or delete files on my MacBook Pro. The solution, in turned out, was, on the advise of one of my friends, to buy and install "CleanMyMac X" run the relevant modules. Now everything works as expected and in addition my Mac seems to be running a bit smoother/faster.
Thanks for your advise!
