I am the admin and only user of my MacBook Pro. However, when I attempt to rename, move, delete, or copy certain folders, I am not allowed and I get the error message: "The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items." I should have no restrictions. How can I fix this?

Boot into Internet Recovery (Option Command R) and from the dropdown menu: Utilities> Disk Utility> run the First Aid on your Macintosh HD (and the "Macintosh HD-Data" volume as well if Catalina/Big Sur) If errors are found and repaired, run again until no errors reported.
Disk Utility>View>Show All Devices The best sequence is —
• Volume level
• Container level
• Parent drive
