However since the restore option ("Put Back") restores to the locations they were deleted from you would always have to move everything to a permanent holding file before deleting it to the trash so that, when you restore, it all restores back to that holding file. Disk First Aid while the machine is booted normally (not recovery mode) will report that everything is.
But you can get some errors while doing so.

I do not have an explanation on why this works, except that offline disk first aid forces a TRIM operation on the SSD. And ultimately, you will need to delete the files from Trash too to free up some space. You could conceivably restore everything that's already in your trash before "emptying" to free the external drive and then putting it all back in the trash, along with the newly deleted external drive files, afterwards. What seems to remedy it (at least for some time) is to reboot into recovery mode, run disk first aid, then restart again. Although this method does still mean you lose whatever else was previously in the trash so it's not perfect. What I have started doing is temporarily moving the data from my external drive (be it a USB stick, SD card etc) to the internal drive of the computer (usually to my downloads folder which I keep pretty clear), deleting the data off the external drive and emptying the trash to free the drive, then moving the internal drive copies to the computer's trash so I can still restore the files in the future if I need to. My suggestion would be for Apple to amend the process so that when you delete from an external drive it completely moves (not copies) the data from the drive to the trash and so freeing the external drive while retaining the data only in the trash (where it can be potentially restored). However, Photos does not reclaim disk spaces immediately after you empty the Recently Deleted folder. There is a button, which allows you to delete items without waiting for the 30 days count down. I deleted the 'washed out' items and repeated the move. How can I diagnose and fix the problem Note: this is what happened during the move. I tried rebooting and verifying the disk (no problems found), but it didnt change anything. The available space on your drive will appear under Devices and drives. It is indeed an application level trash bin in Photos. After the move it still shows only 60 GB of free space, not 90, as I would expect.

To check the total disk space left on your Windows 11 device, select File Explorer from the taskbar, and then select This PC on the left. I agree, this is illogical, I shouldn't have to empty my entire trash to free up space on an external drive, that defeats the point of a) deleting the files from the drive in the first place and b) having a trash file to be able to restore files from. These suggestions are listed in order, so start with the first one, see if that helps, and then continue to the next one if it doesn't.
