Emptying bin (trash) is stuck forever MAC update Ventura 13.5 did not fix the problem

You are welcome. I'm too old to go back to work (I'm 85.) It's normal for many computer software companies to have sites like this. They are then backed up by the company's own support services which do have employees. Some are more proficient than others, just as we are. There are a number of people here that know far more than I do. The difference is that what we know is based on our experiences which we have learned from. I continue to learn from other postings on this site.

Also, it is important to know that running Disk Utility just one time is not always sufficient. Sometimes it is necessary to rerun it multiple times until it offers an OK ending message.

Emptying bin (trash) is stuck on Ventura 13.5 as well - the trash is hanging. Not sure why it takes too long to fix this bug!

TechSupport suggested to run Disc Utility - I ran it and it did not help to resume empty trash still hanging and spinning forever!

I hope empty trash will be fixed soon! Good lucj with P0 bug fix

We cannot escalate. This is a forum staffed by volunteer Apple users like you. Have you tried restarting the computer in the Safe Mode? (Hold down the Shift key on restart.) That allows the operating system to repair itself and cleans its caches. Then start normally. If the problem persists, then I would reinstall the new OS. It likely got corrupted during the download if it was done via Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi is just too slo for these very large files and corruption will often occur. This is not a problem that is due to some error on Apple's part.
