Welcome @liujl,

 

A few tips regarding the obfuscation in your screenshots:

• None of those have any identifiable information.
• There’s no point in obfuscating things that are the same for everyone, such as the names of “Microphone”, “Accessibility”, and “Full Disk Access”.
• The amount of pixelisation you used is not enough to be useful. The Bartender and Dash icons are still recognisable, particularly in a community such as this one where people care about such tools.
• The ID in the name of the Workflow directory is random; it contains no identifiable information.
• Never use pixelisation if you care about obfuscation. There are tools that can deduce the original contents with surprising accuracy.

As to your problem, that seems like a permissions issue. Right click the Workflow’s name in the list and “Open in Finder”. Can you delete the directory? Does the action ask for a password?

Thank you for your reply，I can delete it directly from the folder without entering a password.

I can’t watch or download the video. The connection always stops at some point.

@liujl Alfred makes standard API call to move an item to the trash, and when this doesn't work, it's an indication that there's an underlying problem in macOS.

 

- Have you configured your Mac in any non-standard way (e.g. moved your home folder to an external drive)?

- Have you changed your user account (e.g. change username)?

- Have you ever done a non-Apple restore of your user account?

 

Any of the above could cause a deeper issue, resulting in the API call failing when Alfred asks macOS to move the file to trash.

 

Cheers,
Vero

Thank you very much.

 

I found the problem. Because of the permission of the .Trash

 

Execute the command  

sudo rm -rf .Trash
