Empty trash on MacBook Air greyed out

Macbook Air 13 inch running Mac Os Monterey 12.7. 6

The line "empty trash" under File is greyed out. I tried turning the Mac off, but problem persists.

What to do?

Forgive what is probably a dumb question on my part, but have you confirmed that there are files actually in the Trash? If so, does the Empty button at the upper-right of the Trash window work?
