Uninstall or Remove Folder?
 

I am trying to remove a folder on my desktop thats permissions are root and i cant delete themeself, it has i do not have the permission, however its going to take forever to delete the files manually by rm -, and then rmdir... there are a lot of files inthis folder... is there a way to delete the whole folder even though there are files and folders inside? or is it easier to log in as root at startup...however i dont know how to do that.. i am using ubuntu 5.04 with kde

Just delete it recursively:
rm -rf /path/to/folder

thanks, i didnt know that command, worked perfect

If ever you log in as root, use it wisely or you may end up hosing your entire system.

You could always use "man rm" to look at the manual for that command and it shows all of the options for that command the "-rf" are options that allowed you to remove the entire directory. and if you ever need root privliges type sudo before the command
