In the window that opens, make sure that the Protected option is not checked and check the Sharing and permissions section.

I did the 13.2 update (22D49) and managed to empty the trash thanks everyone for the help.
The latest version with many bug fixes is 13.2. I'd update your 13.01 asap.
Ah, there is some known issue with deleting more than 25 files from a exFat Drive ( from my memory )
Will attempt to find similar questions on this issue and post them back
In the moment, try doing only 25 File Deletions at a time.
You Welcome and thank you too 👍 for the designation
Follow the Previous Advise First.
The Items in the Trash - where they Originally located on an External Drive ?
If Yes, what the External Drive Formatted as exFat format ?
