Quick help
Rescan first. If the app is outside the main Applications folder, add its parent folder under App Locations in Settings and grant access.
Quit the target app completely. If macOS asks for App Management or folder access, allow it and try the action again.
System apps cannot be archived. Apps labeled Protected cannot be optimized yet because App Archiver is waiting for Apple to grant the required permission. You can create a backup and keep the installed copy.
Reconnect the drive and rescan. If the location is still unavailable, select the same Backup Storage folder again in Settings. The backup files remain on the drive.
