I'm trying to delete files and folders from my iCloud drive and get this message:
The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items.
I am the only user on this mac and have no administrator, etc. How do I eliminate these permission errors to delete my files/folders?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.4
Hi Staynavytom,
Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities.
We understand that you're unable to delete a file or folder from iCloud on your Mac. If you're deleting multiple files at a time, try removing a smaller quantity at a time to determine which file or folder has the issue.
Once you have identified the problematic folder or file, right-click on it and choose Get Info to view permissions. You can make changes if necessary to read & write.

You missed the part about the error message telling me I did not have permission to delete the folder. I found the folder had the locked feature on it so by unlocking it, I was able to delete the folder.
