# Question
Before I was prompted for the password, Homebrew had deleted the app's related files and moved them to the trash. Subsequently, it tries to perform an operation on these files, but they no longer exist: No such file or directory. Is anyone else like this?

Poster May 6, 2025@ Anonymous6038 I raised the issue last night, but I'm afraid it's my problem, it turns out it's not, that's good
