Can't move certain files in Finder

Hello everyone,

I am a brand new Mac user currently using a new MacBook Pro (13) updated to the most recent version of Catalina. I am having a weird problem with Finder. I can't move certain files to other folders or the trash. I can delete them by right clicking but if I try to drag them somewhere they won't move. Other files can be moved fine.

I have tried to restart Finder, restart the computer, deleted the preference files for the mouse/trackpad (found a list in an OSXTips post). I thought maybe it was a permissions issue so when I check the file using get info it says that I have both read and write permissions. And again I can just right click and delete the file but it won't let me move it anywhere.

Just wondered if there was something else to try before I just reformat the computer and start over.

Thanks,

J
