Thank you for your bug report. Could you give some details on the content of the trash at the time you emptied it? Do you have enough data for it to take a while, is that on a local partition?
It's likely an upstream issue and would be good to report to them on https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/issues/ ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1853870 Title: Nautilus says "Preparing" when it is emptying the trash and does not update its status until the Trash is done being emptied. Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When emptying the trash (I used the "Empty Deleted Items" button at the top of the file list in Nautilus) a dialog pops up with a progress bar at 0% saying "Preparing". It stays at 0% for the duration of the empty and then disappears when it's done instead of updating. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Put items in the trash 2. Empty the trash by selecting "Empty" 3. Notice the progress bar is stuck at 0% saying "Preparing" Expected Results: Progress Bar updates as items are thrown away. Actual Results: Nautilus says "Preparing" until the trash is finished being emptied.
