iMovie App can't be deleted (in MacOS 15.1.1)
Recently I desired to delete the iMovie App from my Mac, which was not successful. I could move the app to the recycle bin, but the attempt to delete the iMovie file in the recycle bin immediately is acknowledged with the following error message:
“The operation cannot be completed because some objects had to be skipped. For each object, choose File > Information, make sure Protected is turned off, then select the Share & Access Rights section. If you're sure that the objects aren't protected and that you don't have Read Only or No Rights set, try again.”
What I did thus far:
- Checked suffix of app file > diverse entities are displayed authorised to read & write the file (me, admin, everyone, system)
- App file is not set as “protected”
- Checked operating user account > is admin account
- Checked Activity monitor > clean
- Tried to delete the app in Mac Safe Mode > negative
So, none of the cases mentioned in the error message are present.
Any ideas / relevant tips?
