Unable to delete or update addons: trash portal failed?

I’m not sure if it’s relevant but a quick googling found a similar error with a different app that was resolved after deleting GTK_USE_PORTAL.

I had GTK_USE_PORTAL=1 in my /etc/environment , which I think I added to force Qt-based applications to use more ‘native’ File Open and File Save dialogue boxes under Cinnamon. When I removed this and rebooted, I no longer experience the same error

Solved. I had GTK_USE_PORTAL=1 in my .profile. I removed it and now it is working.

I guess, the following command can be used to check if it exists or not.

printenv GTK_USE_PORTAL

or

echo $GTK_USE_PORTAL
