It seems there is a bug in MacOS Catalina. I'm the only user in my MacBook (and the administrator). Trying to delete some files, but this machine tells me that I don't have permission to delete the files. These are not system files!

I wonder if I don't have control over my computer, the who does? How to delete files?

Hi SWAAssia,


First, where are the files located, applications folder, documents folder, music folder etc?


You can take a look at the article, how to change permissions to change the permissions for the folder or files on your Mac that you are trying to delete.


I hope this helps.
