When I try to transfer a file from one folder to another, the action lags on the 'Preparing to move' pop-up.
I've already tried restarting the Finder app via Command-Option-Escape, and I've restarted the whole Mac two times. I have about 300GB of free storage so I don't think that's the issue.
I have a MacBook Air M3 2024, with MacOS 26.6.2 (25G83).
