Can't empty Trash from the Dock after Ventura 13.4 update

After applying the Ventura 13.4 update, Trash will not empty from the dock. I can open the Trash, see a list of the items in the Trash, and click "Empty" to empty the trash. Trash can also be emptied via the Terminal using the "sudo rm -R" command. (I can't prove these are causally linked, but the timing is very suspicious.)


I've booted into recovery mode and run Disk Utility First Aid. It identified errors in some snapshots, and claimed to repair an error in the file system. But repeated execution of First Aid continued to identify the same problem. This is the First Aid log:


Checking snapshot 8 of 8 (com.apple.TimeMachine.2023-05-20-071445.local)

Restoring the original state found as mounted.


Operation successful.


The block of messages about the snapshot are repeated for all snapshots.


Are there any recommendations for repairing this short of a clean install from a backup?


Thanks, in advance.

A SafeBoot seems to have fixed the problem, though it's a bit unnerving that I don't know why.


  • I booted in Safe Boot and the trash emptied as expected.
  • I restarted normally, put some items in the trash, and it again emptied normally.


While I was in Safe Boot, I ran Disk First Aid again, and it came up clean this time.


All's well that ends well. (But I sure wish I knew why.)


Thanks, leroydouglas.

Even when I bought my mac mini I got pain to use "empty the trash", even with all updates. Still the same, I do it, it's stuck like for ever, and I need to do cancel, and then it works, it's clearly a glitch, but never have never fixed it.

So in 1990, it was to work awesome, but in 2024, just for a trash we meet problems wth ?
