I Cannot delete files in Adobe Brigde 2019. I tried everything from deleting the cache manually in Bridge, deleting it through Libraries map in Finder. Resetting Bridge with CMD + alt + Shift. Uninstall and reinstall and restarting my Mac. Also have the most recent version on MacOS (Catalina).

I really don't know what I could do anymore. I am trying to delete some files on my Nas drive btw.

Catalina is having serious problems with NAS drives. Check with the drive vendor to see if they have a fix.

    It does have something to do with the files being on a NAS. It works atm, I think Bridge gets into trouble with the NAS if it is too full. I almost had 100% full capacity on the disks. Not helpful ofcourse. Since weeks not had the problem. I don't know specifically what solved it, but I do know that I cleaned up a lot of files, deleted caches in Bridge itself and manually through Libraries. My feeling is it was that the drives just were too full, but I am just not sure. It's still 90% full but it works... So I will update if it happens again. I was so frustrated for a while honestly! Thanks for the advice.

      Have to ask, but did you also reset preferences when you reinstalled?

      Hi,

      Yes I did.. I noticed I cannot delete through Finder also. So it's probably a Nas HDD error.. Not specifically to Bridge. But annoying as hell though.

      Bridge has always had issues with  NAS hard drives.

      I suggest you check your recycle folder and see if its empty.

      Check the file attributes.
