[X-Unix] Using the CLI to delete "pesky" files/folders

[Mark Gibson]

Hi,

I'm the first to admit the the CLI is not my forte (to be honest that 
is why I got away from Fortran, COBOL, CP-M and DOS a long, long 
while ago).

However I have some folders and files that just sit in the trash and 
refuse to be deleted, so I'm hoping that "sudo ..." something can 
remove them for me.

These files refuse to be deleted because either they are "invisible" 
in the Finder or allegedly I don't have the correct privileges.

I've tried booting the volume up in OS 9 to avoid the permission 
issues but deleting ./trash doesn't seem to help.

Any thoughts?
