Impossible to create a new folder

Hello,


I tried to create a new folder but then finder ask me by surprise for my password,

finder refuse to create "a new empty folder" because "I do not have the necessary permission", I am the only user of this Mac, I am admin.


How can I create a new folder again ?

Thank you so much if you know how deal with this it would be very helpful :)

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.15
