I can drag a file from a protected folder into a regular folder. But it leaves a copy behind, which still cannot be moved to the trash.

However I did discover a workaround: if I command-drag the file into a regular folder it moves it without leaving a copy behind. Then I can move the file from the regular folder to the trash.

I can use this workaround but would of course prefer to have things work "properly." So if there is a simple way to adjust something that would let me move a file from a protected (but unlocked) folder directly into the trash, that would be great. Otherwise I can live with what I've got now.

Thanks very much for your quick response to my original post!

I'm using Espionage 3.7.1 on a Mac running OS 11.7.1.
I get an error message when I try to delete a file I no longer want in a protected folder. This happens when the folder is unlocked.
Here is the message: The operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8062).
This happens when I try to delete using a right click or by dragging to the trash icon.

Thanks for any suggestions.
