Bridge not deleting files in folders.

Report · May 06, 2019

Hello - I'm new to Bridge, but I searched high and low and can't find an answer.

I deleted some photos in Bridge, however they are now appearing as white thumbnails in my Finder windows (Mac). I can't delete them or sent them as they 'no longer exist' (error code 43), but they are still there taking up space. What do I do? I deleted several hundred images believing they would be deleted from my drive, however they are still there. What a mess I now have.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi Alexandra,

That does not sound like a typical experience, let us help make this right.

As you've deleted some of your images via Bridge and getting the error code 43, this particular error code usually appears when users try to delete a file and move it to the trash on macOS.

Please check the multiple solutions listed on this article and let us know how it goes: Fix: Error Code 43 on MacOS - Appuals.com

I was having the same problem and I finally solved it by disabling the option "Show Reject Files" in the view menu. This must be a bug because it didn't work like that before. Even though I had chosen to delete instead of reject files when pressing the delete key, Bridge is still treating deleted files as rejects and they show up as thumbnails.
