The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8058)

Question

Today morning, I tried to copy my Xcode project and pasted it in Backup Folder. I got this above issue.

The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8058)

I believe that this project may have a folder with same name in a sub-folders. This is happening only in this folder. Other project's directory Copy/Paste is working fine. Any Help appreciated. Thanks.

You can try following steps.

1. Try to copy - paste or duplicate another folder. If you can copy paste it , than the problem is with that specific folder only.

2. Now try to copy contents of that folder one by one.

3. Some folders might me copied easily. One by one copying the folder , you will find the culprit. Check the contents and remove it.

Hope this helps.
