I have an external drive (T5 SSD) where I keep files from my old computers.
I just realized that I have one folder where it always asks for my password if I want to delete a file.
I have tried to right-click -> Get Info > and add write+read in the permission part at the bottom, but it doesn't help.
Some guys on Google have suggested checking "ignore ownership on this volume" in this dialog, but I don't see it. Maybe it's gone in Big Sur?
Is there some Terminal command that can fix this? I typed "ls -l" and got that all folders are either "drwxr-xr-x" or "drwxr-xr-x@", except for this stupid folder which is "drwxrwxrwx+".
Some google result told me to do "sudo chflags nouchg /Volumes/T5" and "sudo chmod 775 /Volumes/T5", but it didn't change the "drwxrwxrwx+" and the folder still need a password.
