I installed Mac OS Catalina 10.15 beta.


When I go to Finder and tap on folders in the sidebar, an alert window appears saying the folder "can't be opened because the original item can't be found".


I have tried the following...

- Force Quit and restart Finder.

- Dragging and dropping a folder called "Data" to the desktop. It just disappears from Finder without appearing on the desktop.

- Rebook Mac in recovery mode > Disk Utility > Mount Disks > First Aid > Restart. When I do this I see two disks that can be mounted.

Macintosh HD

Macintosh HD - Data

I have tried mounting them together and separately without success.


Any suggestions to fix this?

Thank you so much this worked perfectly!! For me the problem was that desktop showed up on both my iCloud Drive sidebar tab and my 'Favourites' tab so doing this helped my laptop fix itself lol.
