You do not say what exact Mac /model /year /size /retina /touchbar is this

or

what exact macOS you are currently running?



Boot into Recovery (Command R) and from the dropdown menu: Utilities>  Disk Utility> run the First Aid on your Macintosh HD (and the "Macintosh HD-Data" volume as well if Catalina) If errors are found and repaired, run again until no errors reported.
