Deleting Imported Files

[theancient1]

I recently moved my word and excel documents to my Mac. It appears that if I was not the original author I only have read and write access and so can't move them to trash. How can I delete them?

Thanks, Steve

Okay, well be very careful with this, but try using Terminal. It's an app in your Utilities folder. Type in the following:

rm -rf

...And then drag the files to the Terminal window. Anything you drag there will be permanently deleted, so make sure you click on the right icons.
