Hello Three Dogs,

Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities.

I understand that when you try to delete a file it doesn't appear in Trash. Are you receiving any kind or error message?

First, please give your iMac a fresh restart and then try again to see if that helps. If you still have the same issue after that, I suggest testing in another user account on your Mac to see if you get the same result. This can help isolate the issue from the main user account to the entire system.

Let me know how it goes.

Sincerely.
