Alright dont think that I have not done any research. I have tried just about every program I can download to delete these stupid things and nothing has worked.
So I have a time machine. I am using the time machine as an external drive and as back up. The folders I am trying to delete are not part of the back up. Its just a series of folders as you can see below they are all empty. When I Command I the folder it says its unlocked yet the folder has a lock key on it...sometimes... I have tried the secure delete I have tired the sudo stuff nothing works. It keeps giving me the same errors either the file is in use or I don't have permissions. I have tried both wirelessly and using an Ethernet to connect to the time machine neither have worked.
Any Ideas?
The below is using the Terminal
Please Help Me!
