Finder suddenly very slow
Suddenly all the finder actions become very slow, while using other apps like chrome is very fast. (moving files to different folders[I always get a "preparing to move to" pop-up], selecting a file, right-clicking a file, moving a file to trash[even just one file 500KB file needs like 30 seconds to execute], even just selecting finder causes a couple second buffer.) (The problem still persist even if no other app are open) I'm on an m1 mac Sonoma 14.0, using 420 GB out of 494GB, when I check the memory usage with activity it's consistently around 6.3 GB out of 16 GB even when finder is lagging. I was recently messing with some permissions so that could be the issue (although I don't know how to fix this), any ideas on what I could try to fix this, short of reinstalling the whole OS?
