khdo80 - perhaps you could expand on your question and let us know what distro/file manager you are using. Perhaps even a screeenshot.

Also in the future use better and more helpful thread titles. "Help ?????????" doesn not describe your question at all.

Regards.

Ok, I'm going to try to provide you with an answer based on a set of assumptions from the horribly lacking post you made... take this advice with a grain of salt untill you provide us with the information we need to better understand the post...but here goes.

The folders you are looking at are not accessible to you because you are likely logged in as a user rather than root or another user with sufficient priv's. To delete these folders, you would have to have sufficient priv's.

I would not reccomend deleting these files or folders as they are being protected for one reason or another from your users access; a nice OS safety feature built into linux that most other OS's lack either in whole or in part (read: windows). Deleting those files without being sure what they are and what they do could simply render your install useless.

I would suggest that you post the location and names of some of the files you have with this 'marker' so that we can better understand what you are looking to delete. As well as your desktop (ie: KDE, GNOME), and your distribution, (Redhat 9, Fedora, Mandrake, SuSe, Slack, Debian, etc.)

Also, we are here to help, as our wonderful moderators have said, but we need to have intelligble information before offering in-depth information to troubleshoot your particular issue. As soon as we have this, a more specific response could be provided.
