Kernel module in Trash

I experimented with the kernel module, which I copied to my Desktop, after experimenting I decided to delete its copy from the desktop, but I can’t empty the trash. All regular files are removed, but the kernel module just lives in the trash with an endless Emptying The Trash process.

MacBook Pro (2021)

Without adding more about what you are doing(?), I can say typically you do not have r/w access to system files..



You may well have to disable SIP for the situation you created

If you dis-able it is important to re-enable after you empty the trash directory
