I just recently tried to download the software for a visor organizer that someone gave me, and the installation said it was unsuccesful, upon trying to delete the unsuccesfull installation i was told that two of the files were locked. I tried holding shift-option with no effect, renaming the items, putting them in a folder, and finally i downloaded a program called iCan with a "brute force" force empty option. None of these things worked. I also tried going to the terminal and entering sudo rm and the file and it told me that the file is a directory and didn't delete it. Can anyone suggest something? I'm using an iBook with Mac OS 10.2.8

1. Bring up terminal 2. Go to that directory 3. cd into the directory you want to get rid of 4. delete everything in the directory with the su rm * 5. make sure everything is gone by ls -a 6. cd .. 7. sudo rmdir ______ where ______ is the name of the directory

Open the terminal and type: cd ~/.Trash <hit return> sudo rm -rf put a space after the f and drag the item you want deleted to the terminal so that its path is automatically entered, then press return give it your admin password and hit return

It worked! Thanks!
