Can I force Storage Studio to move a Blocked app?

Short answer: No — Blocked apps can't survive a move, so there's no override. If it's blocked only because it's open, quit it and refresh.

No. Blocked is reserved for apps that wouldn't survive a move — protected system apps, Apple apps updated in place, Setapp-managed apps — so there's no override. The exception is temporary blocks: an app that's open becomes movable once you quit it and refresh, and an app that's already moved is managed from the Moved tab.

Apps with a known but manageable risk are marked Override instead, which you can confirm.
