Problems involving the file explorer

Just uninstalled a game i had on steam and now i just cant open the file explorer.

As you can see, nautilus failed to register and reached the time limit. I have no idea how i keep runing into these kinds of problems.

Update: Just reopened nautilus after killing its processes but i get this output in the terminal

How i fix it?

Maybe some ideas of that thread can help you:

Do you have setup a network share? If not, you can try to remove nautilus-share.

Perhaps it helps to reinstall nautilus

sudo apt reinstall nautilus

Nautilus for GNOME 46 is known for its bugs and Nautilus_v50 is only available on gnome 50.

I recommend you to use Dolphin File Manager:

Your problem is nautilus share, you made a share with named "net usershare info"
Give us the output of

testparm

No, it is known for extensions bugs, because many extensions have bugs, install the same extension in nautilus 50 and you will have a bug, since I removed forlder-color from fresh new zorin 18 I never encounter any nautilus bug....

testparm not found, should i install this samba-commun-bin?

No, i am reading the post you linked before reinstalling nautilus.

Sure because as you installed nautilus-share, it's not a standalone extension
Take a look here I made a guide

I didn't have folder-color but I had open with vscode python extension from some years ago. And nautilus was randomly freezing both in ubuntu and zorin. Anyway i removed the extension and even the nautilus extensions app but still sometimes it was getting stuck. I was mounting One/Google Drive on boot up using rclone and my solution was to use bisync command. I never had these issues with other file managers that's why I'm not a fan of nautilus. but I like your extensions to add more features to nautilus to make it like dolphin.. and I believe you work harder than the nautilus devs themselves. Thanks
