Why you’re locked out

This isn’t a permissions problem at all – the internal SSD is completely full.
When the APFS volume that holds your home folder has no free blocks, macOS will

Because of that, Finder’s “Get Info”, chmod, etc. can’t help.
Your admin account already has root rights via sudo; you just have to give the system some breathing room. fix You only need a few gigabytes of free space for everything to unlock again. Stop Carbon Copy Cloner and delete its snapshot

CCC makes an APFS snapshot of the source before it starts copying; that snapshot is probably eating tens of gigabytes.

Then turn iCloud Drive off

Then try deleting you failed copy

This can be done in your terminal like so

sudo rm -rf ~/iCloud\ Drive\ $$Archive$$/<big_folder>
If the archive folder wasn’t created, look in
~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/ instead.

Turn your iCloud back on and give it a few minutes everything that was fully in iCloud reappears and your local copy should be gone
