Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I have a new iMac 24" running OS 13 Ventura, when I right click the trash can and then click on "Empty Trash" nothing happens, I don't get a popup window nor is the trash can emptied.
Anyone know why and / or how to fix
Thanks in advance for your help

iMac 24″, macOS 13.0
Works on M1 Mac Mini venture 13.1 like expected
Try the >>
1 - Restart in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.
2 - Safe Mode will also eliminate Third Party Software, extensions and drivers from loading
3 - Does the issue present in this mode ?
4 - Sometimes a Safe Boot followed by a Normal Boot will just put things right.
5 - Still issues Terminal command killall Dock which will reset the dock

I shutdown the iMac, let it set for 10 mins, rebooted and now trash works, should have done that first, sorry for having to get you involved, Will reboot in the future first...
Thank you again for your help...

Barney-15E thank you,
Cmd+del does nothing, When I do shift+cmd+del I get the popup window, When I have safari window open, no popup window, if i minimize all window, and then Shift+cmd+del get popup and when I click on empty trash it works. Right clicking with all windows minimized does nothing

What happens if you use the Empty Trash command, cmd-delete?
I get the popup window,
Has ventura OS disconnected the right click/empty trash
I get the popup window,
And it deletes when you approve?
Has ventura OS disconnected the right click/empty trash
No. I would have said so if it did.
It was a weird problem. I don’t think I would have been able to offer anything more than that.
Yes weird; however, your comments led me to look elsewhere and found the issue
thank you
in Ventura right clicking trash can nothing happens
