Emptying bin (trash) is stuck forever MAC update Ventura 13.5 did not fix the problem

Emptying bin (trash) is stuck on Ventura 13.5 as well - the trash is hanging. Not sure why it takes too long to fix this bug!

TechSupport suggested to run Disc Utility - I ran it and it did not help to resume empty trash still hanging and spinning forever!

I hope empty trash will be fixed soon! Good lucj with P0 bug fix

You are welcome. I'm too old to go back to work (I'm 85.) It's normal for many computer software companies to have sites like this. They are then backed up by the company's own support services which do have employees. Some are more proficient than others, just as we are. There are a number of people here that know far more than I do. The difference is that what we know is based on our experiences which we have learned from. I continue to learn from other postings on this site.

Please! My 2017 iMac is running the latest OS that Apple permits - Ventura. I have 500GB optic fiber service with an ethernet connection to my router. It's way fast. If many folks have this very same problem - I do - it is systematic, not one or two users' download problem which just happens to be the exact same corruption.


My solution, which in a properly working OS I shouldn't have to engage, is to close the "emptying trash" window manually. The trash is empty. The problem is that the OS doesn't automatically close the window.

We cannot escalate. This is a forum staffed by volunteer Apple users like you. Have you tried restarting the computer in the Safe Mode? (Hold down the Shift key on restart.) That allows the operating system to repair itself and cleans its caches. Then start normally. If the problem persists, then I would reinstall the new OS. It likely got corrupted during the download if it was done via Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi is just too slo for these very large files and corruption will often occur. This is not a problem that is due to some error on Apple's part.
