Just completed a downgrade from Sonoma to Big Sur, then upgraded to Monterey, then Ventura. Now I get this error when trying to delete any file on my hard drive. I can import an old file from Time Machine and it suddenly becomes undeletible, so the issue seems to be Ventura? Help!

You can try from a SafeBoot Use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support . Login and compare your results.
reboot as normal to exit safeboot.
Error code -36 relates to actions in the Finder, such as moving, copying, or deleting files. It usually means that the Finder can’t read some or all of the data in the file.
Try changing the save as name and remove any ‘.’ and ‘_’ in the file name
If there is an external drive involved —The error code may be related to a USB drive, save the file to another drive and compare your results.
error -36 is I/O Error
An in / out error —one or more bad blocks on the disk for that file, the drive makes multiple attempts at error correction and can not resolve the issue.
I tried safe boot. Did first aid on my disks. No luck. ANY file I have or any one newly-created is un-deletable. Error -36
Error Code -36 Can't delete files
