If you have those items syncing to iCloud, then maybe it is unable to process them due to the changing status of the drive data. I know that Disk Utility and data recovery apps are unable to do anything with the file system while Filevault is encrypting or decrypting a drive. I'm not sure how iCloud file syncing may work in relation to the file system when encrypting/decrypting.


Otherwise, I agree with @The_Knowledge_Seeker, that Filevault should not be causing any problems.
