No, I did not see any errors. The Pictures folder copied fine. But the OS won't let me delete the original folder on the HD labeled 'Pictures' after I have copied it. Is this just a Sierra quirk, or true of all OS variants?
No, it's nothing new.
It's deemed an integral part of the OS.
Look at the original folder and your copy.
The icons should be different.
When you copy one of those root (?) folders, you get a generic folder.
Maybe some terminal-fu could change all that, and build some kind of link to your external folder, or just make an alias to the external folder (if you haven't already) and ignore the OS folder.
