Can't delete or take a screenshot

Hi!

I have a MacBook Pro from 2020.

When I try to remove a screenshot from my Mac by moving it to trash, it asks me for my finger-print or password to allow this. This is unusual, as it normally does it straight away. After I give the mac this information, it tells me that it cannot complete the action because I do not have access to some of the files.

Next, when I take a screenshot, it appears to work at first. However, when I go to look for the screenshot, it's like it was never taken (no matter how many times I take the screenshot).

Could somebody please help with this?

Thank you!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

Where to find screenshots

By default, screenshots save to your desktop with the name ”Screen Shot [date] at [time].png.”

In macOS Mojave or later, you can change the default location of saved screenshots from the Options menu in the Screenshot app. You can also drag the thumbnail to a folder or document.
