Folder Moving / Merging - Permissions Denied
This has been solved.
Mac mini
The folder was not corrupted, it was simply moved to save space. And some files were not able to move due to permissions, so it got split in two.
This was for a music app that installs 50+GB onto your main drive, so the developers / user community have a workaround of moving the folder from /Library to external drive, then using an MAC FOLDER ALIAS folder within /Library to link to the data externally and save space on your main drive.
SOLUTION : I discovered that even though the top level folder had proper permissions set under 'Get Info' in finder, there was a subfolder that had different permissions - and these were the files that would not move. Once I changed the permissions on that folder specifically, I was good to go. I assumed that permissions in the top level folder would pass down to everything within it, but that's not the case. After that, I just used FreeFileSync app to merge the folders back together easily after that.
Hope this helps someone in future.
