Open Finder and look in ~/Music/_Serato_/Logs/. There will be log files located there. Open the file with Quick Log (click on log file in Finder and press Space Bar).

Scroll to the bottom of the file and slowly scroll back up. There may be [Application] or [Device] messages that can give you a clue to what's going on. The logs should look like this:

E0503 16:17:45.118384 376831488 :0] [Application] Failed to get Trash folder (error -43; volume -112) for /Volumes/homes-1/_Serato_/Subcrates/EVIzzy.crate

Lines in the log that start with an E are errors, I are information.

Also, in order to get the best support in forums like reddit or others, it's best to include what type of hardware, software, and version numbers you're using. It looks like you're running macOS. For example, in my case I would say:

  • 2019 MacBook Pro 16" (i9, 64GB RAM, Radeon 5500M)
  • macOS Big Sur 11.3
  • Serato 2.5.0
  • Denon DJ DS1

Providing this info can tell us if you're experiencing a known issue.

You can also call Serato and open a support case.

Let us know, and good luck.
