Getting rid of deleted users' folders

OK, so I installed MySQL on my system and it was a pain in the ass. During my confusion, I deleted and recreated the necessary 'mysql user' a couple times. It only lists one in the System Prefs/Users panel, but it lists a couple of 'mysql deleted' folders in the users folder still, and wont let me throw them away. It says it can't be moved to the trash because it can't be deleted.

Despite that clear, concise explanation from my OS, I am pretty clueless as t how to get rid of them. Anybody got any ideas? Bueller?..........Bueller?
 
Well, if you know how to log in as "root", simply log in as root and then delete them that way. Alternately, you could boot in Mac OS 9 and delete them, then boot back into OS X... Hope this helps...
 
Do you know, or were you just saying if I knew how?
