hello! I am getting this pop up saying that "the files are on a volume that does not support trash. Would you like to permanently delete them?" after I try to delete files off my Macbbook via Lr Classic running Catalina 10.15.6 and up to date Lr and Cam Raw. But even when i click permanently delete files, the images are still on my drive and in the lightroom catalogue. Help!
Hi Anastasia, I was personally able to reproduce this.
This error happens when your Desktop folder is specially managed by macOS to be part of your iCloud Drive cloud files, so your desktop files are available from your iPhone/iPad/other macs. Because it's in the cloud you actually don't have a real /Users/<name>/Desktop folder anymore, but Lightroom still sees one somehow, and gets confused when it's not on the same real filesystem as your Trash folder.
Your best option would be to quit Lightroom, move your entire folder of photos to a better location (like /Users/<name>/Pictures/FOLDER), and then when you re-open Lightroom, you can right-click on the missing folder and select "Find Missing Folder" from the context menu. Navigate to where you put it on your real filesystem and you should be good to go.
