Some time ago, I downloaded a Java update (no longer remember why, since I don't need much of what Java has) and put it on my external HD. Then I was told it wouldn't run on my ancient OS. Recently, cleaning out old files on the HD, I tried to trash the update. Everything went except four folders: Applications, Library, System, and usr. When I tried to trash them, I got message: "This operation could not be completed because the item is owned by root." Hmm. I thot *I* owned everything on this Mac. Does this mean I have to reformat the HD, or is there another way? Maybe I have to live with it? Much thanks, as usual.
