Can't delete a file....

So here's the short version...

I screwed up. Deleted some stuff that shouldn't have been deleted, freaked, downloaded a trial for Data Recycler to see if it couldn't be recovered. It couldn't. But I'll get drunk about that later.

Here's the problem: Data Recylcer installs things all over your system. In particular, places a locked folder in /Library/StartupItems called DataRecyclerBackend, filled with all sorts of nice daemons and such.

The folder won't allow a permissions change (results in "An unexpected Error Occured - error code 120") and keeps the "Locked" button greyed out.

Went into Terminal, typed "rmdir /Library/StartupItems/DataRecyclerBackend"
and got "Operation not permitted"

Is there a Terminal command/ other operation I can use to delete this item?

Thanks all.
 
Never mind, it came to me as i hit "Submit".

Logged in as root, unlocked the folder there and trashed it.

Sorry to waste server space. ^_^
