Well, Itunes saved the folder, I think the battery went flat whilst  
it was ripping from a CD. and what's root pardon my ignorance?

You didn't give us any background, but if this is a normal file, it

to your desktop folder (permissions shouldn't allow this, but if  
you've messed with them, it is possible) then you won't be able to  
remove it, you'll have to be that user first.  Failing that, you  
could always become root, then remove the file, and it will go away  
then, with no problems.
