Error emptying trash on mac macOS: Ventura 13.0.1

The operation did not complete because some elements were skipped. For each of these elements, from the File menu, select Info. In the window that opens, make sure that the Protected option is not checked and check the Sharing and permissions section. After confirming that the elements are not protected and that they are not set to Read Only or No Access, try again.

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.
