Transfering files from disk: ERROR CODE -43, empty bin: The operation can’t be completed because the item “file name” is in use.
Hello,
When I try to transfer files from an ExFAT drive to another disk or to my MacBook, I keep encountering the following error:
"The operation can’t be completed because one or more required items can’t be found. (Error code -43)"
If I transfer the files individually, the copying usually completes without issues. However, since there’s a massive number of files, I can’t do this for every single folder.
I’ve tried repairing the disk with the utility app and transferring the files in safe mode on my Mac… Nothing works. Any ideas on what could be causing the problem?
Additionally, some files that were deleted from the drive can’t be permanently removed from the trash, as I get the following error:
"The operation can’t be completed because the item 'file name' is in use."
(The files aren’t actually in use.)
Can anyone please help?
Thank you for your help.
Best regards.
