Cannot update: locked files

Dear community, I would like to find a way to forego locked files when updating zotero on mac.

I get the following error message when I try to update to the newest version: "The operation can’t be completed because some items had to be skipped. For each item, choose File > Get Info, make sure “Locked” is deselected, and then check the Sharing & Permissions section. When you are sure the items are unlocked and not designated as Read Only or No Access, try again."

I have many zotero files and tried to go through them manually but could not find any locked items. (Apart from the fact that this really takes a lot of time.)

Is there a way to update zotero asking the update to ignore any files that the software identifies as locked? Alternatively, is there a fast way to unlock all items that are linked to zotero?

Thanks!
