No Icloud operations seems to work

I tried to delete a bunch of files in my iCloud, they are still in deleted. When I try to Delete All the operation runs for a long time before failing.

I try to move a folder out of iCloud it does the same.

What am I missing?

Cannot empty trash and deleted files in iCloud keep returning Ok, so my trash is always full with a couple of files or folders. Sometime when I try to empty it I just get the message that some files are in use and I cannot delete them. As I have a full iCloud sync with all my devices, I also go to Icloud.com and try to "Delete Forever"... they delete, but then after a few seconds they come back no matter what I do. I tried to recover them and rename them, but no luck... Help! [Re-Titled by Moderator] Original Title: Cannot empty trash files keep coming back

Try to boot to safe mode and the boot normally and try again. Or log out from iCloud, reboot, and log back in and try again. Or try to delete via iCloud web interface.

And don't use any 3rd party virus apps, "cleaners", or VPN because they often cause obscure errors and system corruption.
