Hey all, I'm trying to fix my permissions problem; my hard drive is acting like a backup drive in the following ways:

1. When I move something into it it asks for my password to authenticate
2. When I move something within it, it copies
3. When I move something out of it, it copies
4. When I try to delete something from it, it asks for authentication.

I've tried correcting permissions. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello and welcome.

Sounds like you need to reset the permissions (ACLs) on your user folder.

-Did you change them by any chance?
-Did this happen after installing any software?
