I was trying to move one folder into another and instead they got "stuck" together. One is about 1/4" above the other and I can read the names of both folders. But I cannot grab one or the other. They move together. When I double click on them they both open. But I can't separate them. How to I unstick them? I have an iMac with Big Sur 11.6.1
Click somewhere else on the Desktop which should un-highlight them. Then try selecting the top most folder to move it.
There should also be an option in the Finder to snap items to the Grid on the Desktop. Try right-clicking or Control-clicking on an empty portion of the Desktop and select "Clean Up By ->". I think this will give you an option for "Grid", but of course this will move every item on the Desktop into a grid pattern so you will need to search to find items you may have placed strategically on the Desktop.
You can also open a Finder window and move one of the problem folders to another folder temporarily, then move it back to the Desktop. This can be risky as well if you accidentally drop it during the procedure you may have to search for it.
