Hello!
I am trying to troubleshoot an error code -43 while running Sierra. I have used First Aid in Disk Utility, but there is no longer the ability to repair permissions. I can't delete folders from my desktop.
I was moving folders to another drive and accidentally unplugged the drive during the process. I was able to plug the drive back in, move the folders, but now I can't delete the folders from my desktop. Advice?
iMac, iOS 10.1.1, Running Sierra
Fix permissions on Trash folder
Select your Home folder and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. Be sure you have "read & write" privileges in the Sharing & Permissions panel. Check under "General" panel to be sure it isn't locked. If that is correct, launch the Terminal on the Utilities folder, and at the prompt copy and paste this command:
mkdir ~/.Trash
Press RETURN.
If you get a message that the folder already exists, copy & paste this command:
sudo chown $UID ~/ .Trash
Press RETURN. Enter your admin password (it will be invisible) Press RETURN. Then copy and paste this command:
chmod u+rwx ~/.Trash
Press RETURN.
Log out and back in, or restart.
THANK YOU! It worked!
Then your problem has been Solved, eh?
Yes! Sorry, just confirmed it solved with your answer.
