I believe that these folders came from a Google takeout request I did before deleting my Google account. I imported the data into my iCloud Drive. But there are these folders that are insistent on not being deletable, despite terminal or manual methods of deleting. Not sure exactly what they are and why they’re there, but if someone knows I would appreciate it! It seems to be a cloud sync issue if you see the error cloud icon, and seems that it is some placeholder of something.

nvm I found out the solution!

#

it was a permission/ownership issue

#

had to do this:

#

sudo chown -R "$USER" ~/Documents/Google

#

to change owernship to myself

#

then I was able to delete it

#

So glad I figured it out lol
