[G4] How do you delete Previous Systems folder

[Wilkin, Wayne (Mass)]

Boot into 9. Boy are you guys old school. Your going to boot into 9 for
everything you can't trash you'll be doing that for ever. You guys should
get more familiar with the Terminal.

Launch Terminal
change user to root level, use the sudo command
sudo chmod -R 777 then the folder file and or directory path that you want'
to delete
enter password
return
You should then be able to move the item to the trash.
