If you listen to what the Social Media Websites suggestion.
They tend to give incorrect, misinformation or disinformation
Clearing the System Cache files is a easy as restarting the computer in Safe Mode
Be aware, System cache file will be automatically recreated as the Operating System requires
There is nothing the user can do to stop this from happening
I had a very similar problem that "you don't have permission" when I tried to use Finder to access my downloads, also had "Show Downloads" from Safari/View greyed out. Spent cumulative 3 hours with 2 Apple techs (very nice folks) and a Supervisor who solved the problem with the following commands:
Finder>Get Info (under File) >undo “LOCKED” and change “PRIVILEGE” under Sharing and Permissions from whatever to "Read & Write"

PS we speculated that with the last update about 4 days ago with Sonoma 14.6.1 my Dropbox may have interfered with the settings.
