Error 43

I placed a large number of files in one folder in preparation to delete them, but when i sent it to the trash this message came up

The operation can’t be completed because one or more required items can’t be found.

(Error code -43)

Any ideas?

Unable to delete a file - Error code -50 Hello everyone! I am unable to delete (move or modify) a couple of files in my download folder. If I try, I get the following error: "The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50)". The files do not appear in the terminal when listing the files on the 'Downloads' folder, they can't be moved, or can't be forced removed using the terminal. I am stuck, and I don't know what to do. These two files were sent through WhatsApp (if that is helpful). Very simple but frustrating issue. Any help would be appreciated. D.F.

Hi, welcome to the Apple Users Community.

Please try holding down the option/alt key and emptying the trash.

If that doesn't work restart and try the trash empty again.

Best of luck
