The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items
I no longer use OneDrive, but still have the folder on my local HDD from the time I did.
OneDrive is no longer running.
Some files are completely unaccessible to me. I have tried:
$> chmod 777 document.docx
$> chown myusername document.docx
etc, as well as reviewing the permissions in the Get Info screen to be sure it is set to "read & write".
Nothing I can do will allow me access to this file. Can't open it, can't move it, can't delete it.
On my iMac, which hasn't been upgraded to Catalina, I still have all the correct access to this same file, which was also put there by OneDrive.
What's even more weird, is ls -al indicates it is a symbolic link?! But doesn't show what it links to?
The entire internet is telling me this is an SIP issue, and not to mess with system files.
What do I do to reclaim this file? Why is there no hint of the lack of permissions in any of the system tools?
This is a bug in Catalina, and I will not be updating anything else until this is resolved.
