Hi Guys,
Im using
Mac Book Pro (13 Inch, M1, 2020)
macOS Monterey (Version 12.3)

Recently I have created one standard user account Without admin privilege. However when I login into the standard user account :-
1.) I tried to delete the application from the Finder ----> application folder -----> right click "move to bin" IT WILL REQUEST FOR ADMIN CREDENTIAL ( WHICH IS CORRECT AND WHAT I WANT)

2.) I tried to open the LaunchPad -----> Drag an app to Bin ----> it will ask if im confirm want to delete or cancel -----> when I click Delete ----> app got deleted.

However when I return back to application folder in finder and found the app is missing and deleted.
( Which I feel like the front door have huge lock as the back door without a door)

To confirm on this behaviour - I switch user to admin account and checked ---> Yes the app got deleted.

Contacted apple support ---> request me to perform macOS repair installation ---> I did follow the instruction. After the OS repair installation I tested it still the same behaviour.

Can someone help me on this and share if you guys also face the same issues.

Hello and welcome.

I haven't come across this issue personally. Honestly, that sounds like a bug in macOS, and Apple Support would be the best folks to help, as they can escalate it to their software/engineering teams.
