Unable to clear recently deleted in Photos for macOS
Photos seems to have randomly decided to not allow me to clear the recently deleted folder. I have several gigs of stuff in there I want to get rid of, but I can't. I have tried repairing the library several times, but it always hangs at 100%... I have let it sit for three days and still nothing. Activity monitor reports all photos processes are using 0% cpu time.
I've tried examining the library with PowerPhotos, but I don't see any options there for repair or rebuild. Has anyone seen this before? I need to be able to clear my library.
