| Problem with Terminal... I have a troublesome file on my desktop that refuses to delete. It's not locked, it's just one really screwed up file. It's still there after I restart etc. I go into terminal and type in sudo rm and do what it says but when i drag the file in and press return, it says permission denied. I am logged in under admin. I'm new at using the terminal so it may be my fault. Could someone help me out? Thx.

| In terminal you are not the sys admin. Do in this way: type in terminal "sudo -s" type admin password type "rm your_file" type exit. Done.
