Q: What's this error message?

Hi,

I keep getting this message before I try to empty my trash. The weird thing is that nothing is currently being copied nor is the trash being emptied.

I've selected all options and I keep getting this message.

If anyone knows what I can do to stop it lemme know, thanks!

Hey,

So I turned off my MacBook for a while and emptied the trash without that error message.

Often that or a simple restart does the trick, just didn't think of that earlier.

Thanks for your time!
