My first thought was that the file's Attributes were Read Only in Properties, but should stop you copying or moving it.

Are you using a network drive?

Or is the file open in another app like Photoshop Beta?

I found a reference to AV causing issues like this, which I assume means the AV considered the file as suspect and locked it.  Sounds like a long shot to me though.

 

Can you open it with other apps like a different version of Photoshop, or a PSD view like Irfanview?

Hi, thx for your reply,

I checked the "read-only" checkbox, and it was unchecked. I tried using other software to open the file, but my computer freezes every time. Is inside my local drive.
And my laptop didn't use any antivirus.
I tried to use Krita to open, failed as well.
I also tried using Photopea, but it didn't work. Whenever I try to move or open the file, my entire computer locks up.
