The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8058).

I made a copy of an mp4 video on my Mac and trimmed the length of it. After no longer needing the video, I tried to move it to trash but I couldn't complete the action and received "The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8058)." What does this mean and why can't I delete it? I am on a macbook pro 2020 intel Iris Plus 13-inch 4 thunderbolt 3 ports running macOS Sequoia 15.0

Sounds like an app still has the file open. Is it possible the app you used is still open in the background and therefore keeping the original from being deleted?

You can check to see if that file is locked by going to finder and selecting that file. Then right click on it and select "Get Info".
