Sync Error. Red Circle with exclamation mark (!) in Finder I got a new iMac M1 and have migrated from an old iMac. I decided to use the same hard drive external disk for Time Machine backup on the new computer. As I was backing up there was a power cut and when the computer started up again all files in the Finder that were included in the Time Machine backup settings are marked with a red circle and an exclamation mark "!" in the finder. They all work but it looks really distracting. I finished the backup... restarted... removed the external disk... restarted... I can't get the red ! to go away. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
