As title says, I accidentally deleted the time machine back up manually from my external hard-drive and now it won't delete from Trash can at all. it keeps giving me some integrity protection error. I've researched and tried the holding Command+Option+Shift to delete and it fails by giving me an error (-8072) and I've also tried using the terminal method but both don't work. What should I do?

I've a 4TB Harddrive and my macbook pro is 256gb so reformatting the hard-drive isn't an option.

Any advice with this will be greatly appreciated!
