I have started getting the message "Directory not empty: /media/veracrypt1" when trying to unmount my encrypted container. It unmounts in the file manager window and if I press Unmount in VeraCrypt again then it fully unmounts. This seemed to start happening when I was running version 1.26.7 (the version in the Linux Mint 22.1 repository) but persists when I have upgraded to 1.26.24

Can anyone explain to me what is happening here?
