I’m having a similar issue with files sent to Trash from SD Cards that won’t delete in total. If I open the Get Info window for the drive, I can see that Empty Trash only deletes a few files at a time. I’m having to run Empty Trash 12 or more times in a row to delete an entire folder full of files. This is a new issue with Ventura. No doubt Apple’s moron programmers have effed this up! I’m really tired of all the stupid effing bugs!!!
