My son accessed an administrator account
and proceeded to dowmload mp3 files through Limewire. The acccount was my wife's
who granted access while I was away. I happened to open my harddrive and noticed
Two system folders. Say Whaaat? One folder
named "System Folder" is the system folder.The other is "SystemFolder" which contains a folder named "incomplete". Inside the "incomplete" folder is tens of mp3 and
mpg files. Not mine and not where I want them to be. I went to trash this file and was told I did not have the requisite permissions.
I tried to trash this folder through both
administrator accounts on my Mac but I can't
do it. Can someone help here?

Read the book, found the answer. Get Info,
click padlock, change owner, send folder to trash.
