Hi, I am running OS X.1.5 on my B&W G3.  Recently my wife bought a new iBook
so she didn't my computer anymore.  I deleted her account on my computer
through the user section in the system preferences.  Previously I had made a
back up of all the files from both our accounts.  I stored these backup
files on a 3rd hard drive.  I've tried to manually delete all the files and
I was successful on most of them BUT I can't seem to delete my wifes
document folder.  I put it in the trash but now I get an error message
saying that I'm not the owner of these files if I try to take it out of the
trash or empty the trash.  Is there a way to completely get rid of these
files in OS X?  I've tried changing my account to "super-user" through the
terminal and then going to the trash can and clicking on empty trash but
that doesn't work.  Is there a command I can type that will empty the trash?
Thanks in advance!
