When I import a folder to Bridge from an external harddrive it is empty when I open it. Then I cannot delete it or replace it. I have restarted and reinstalled Bridge but nothing helps. How to solve it? / Johan

Thanks for the answer! Yes, I am on a newly bought MacBook Air, Sequoia 15.3. I followed the advices but it did not help. / Johan

@Erik Bloodaxe, thanks for pointing @johan_se to my Permissions process.

Johan, I am perplexed by your statement about "importing" a folder from the external drive). This may seem trivial, but it's important to understand what to expect out of Bridge. You cannot "import" files into Bridge; you can only "Open" or "Look" at a folder's content. One can import it into a database, but Bridge has no database like Lightroom Classic, which has to record all the files and what's been done with them.

The next thing you mention that makes me even more perplexed is that you state you "cannot delete it or replace it."

Can you please go into some detail about how you are trying to access a folder and where you see the folder you cannot delete?

I'll try and help if I can.
