Batch removal of background - getting errors

[MartinNP]

I am trying to remove the background from 300 images. The images are pretty much identical. 

First I tried setting up a batch procedure where I manually unlocked the background, used the quick selection tool to select the background and then finally deleted the background. But when I run the batch thing on the folder with the images it immediately returns the error "the command Delete is not currently available". I also tried running the same with the image processor. Same error.

Then I tried recording a batch operation with the "Remove background" tool built into Photoshop - that does work, but it removes way too much of the background.

I have attached a sample image.

Can anyone help with this?
Thanks!

Got all confused when I tried to find the thread again - seems as my questions landed in someone else's thread instead of in its own as was intended 🙂 sorry.
Anyway, I'll continue here. When I record using the creating path method (works great when I do it), having the "allow tool recording active" I run into problem. All looks fine, but when I try to run the action Photoshop freezes, without even performing the first task in the action (which in this case is setting the canvas size). Each time I have an action including a making a path and using it for making a quick selection Photoshop freezes. I have to close it using task manager. Has anyone else run into this?

You'll find the answer in the most recent replies to Select subpath thread.

(that's the bug - I reported few days ago - introduced to Ps 2019 or 2020)
