And what do you have on the screen (in the file) when you close Trace Bitmap window?

* try to include the status bar (bottom of IS window) in the next upload
:tool_zoom: <<< click! - but, those with a cheaper tickets should go this way >>> :!:

Trace Bitmap puts the traced path directly on top of the image you're tracing, so doesn't always look like it's done something. As Maestral hinted, check the status line: if it says you have a path then the trace has completed. In that case move the path out of the way and delete the original image (if you want to).
