so instead of uninstalling photoshop cs2 i just used appdelete and when i emptied my trash bin it left a folder that says "photoshop cs2" then when i open that there is a "legal" folder and in that folder it says "tieng viet.html" it will not let me get rid of these folders. how would i go about doing so??
 
We’ve had this question before but I can’t find the thread. In any case I just dragged that file to the Trash from my CS2 legal folder (made a copy first) then emptied the trash. No problem.

Try moving the folder to the Desktop and dragging the file itself to the Trash and emptying.

Let us know how it goes.
 
OK, make sure you’re logged in as an admin user.

Select the file (click on it so it’s highlighted) then type Command-I or select “Get Info” from the Finder’s File menu.

Down at the bottom you’ll see Ownership & Permissions, click the little triangle so you can see all the details.

Click the little padlock so it’s open.

Change the Owner to yourself (your short username) and Access to Read and Write

See if you can now delete the file.
 
im pretty sure my computer hates me. i did exactly what you said to both the legal folder and the weird html file. everything went ok with the legal folder but when i tried to delete it it didn't work. that is when i tried just the html folder and when i clicked the pad lock and tried to change the name to mine it gave me an error code of "213" and still wont let me delete it. if it matters the name of the html file is "Tiéng Viẹt.html"
 
It’s not only you, lots of people have had trouble with that file.

Go and download the demo of SuperGetInfo and see if it will delete the file. I think it will, I fooled around with that file before using SuperGetInfo and that’s why I can delete it.

I’d tell you to do it from within Terminal but the language is not recognized by the standard setup. I remember that from the last time.

Edit: Put the file back in the trash then with SuperGetInfo (under the SuperGetInfo menu) choose Empty Trash.

SuperGetInfo will let you change the permissions. I’ve owned it since they released it, it’s pretty handy sometimes.

Now we get rough, be careful and make sure you follow the instructions carefully.

Create a folder named junk on the Desktop and put the Tiéng Viẹt.html in it.

Open Terminal and type 'cd Desktop/junk' (don't use the quotes, here or for the next commands).

Type 'pwd', the response must be: /Users/yourusername/desktop/junk or you're in the wrong place.

Type 'ls', you'll see the file with a few recognizable characters and the rest question marks.

Type 'sudo rm *.*' or to be more safe 'sudo rm *.html'

It will ask you for your password, go ahead and type it in.

Poof!

Type 'ls' again and you'll see the folder is empty.

matt-bergerons-computer:~ mattbergeron$ cd desktop/junk
matt-bergerons-computer:~/desktop/junk mattbergeron$ pwd
/Users/mattbergeron/desktop/junk
matt-bergerons-computer:~/desktop/junk mattbergeron$ ls
Legal.localized
matt-bergerons-computer:~/desktop/junk mattbergeron$ sudo rm *.*
rm: Legal.localized: is a directory
matt-bergerons-computer:~/desktop/junk mattbergeron$


it wont allow me to take the html file out of the legal folder so the the legal folder is in the junk folder.
 
OK, since you can’t take the file out of the Legal folder you’ll have to follow the steps above but delete the Legal folder.

Once you’re in ~/desktop/junk (make sure you are with ‘pwd’)

Type ‘sudo rm -r Legal.localized’

Edit: Alternatively once you’re in ~/desktop/junk you can type ‘cd Legal.localized’, then you’ll be in Legal.localized and you can…

type ‘sudo rm *.*’ and the file will be gone but the Legal.localized folder will still be there

You know, you can just go into terminal and look up the commands I’m giving you so that you’ll better understand what you’re doing, just type ‘man cd' for example. Also you can download Bwana and it will open the manual pages in your web browser, they’re much easier to read that way.

read it, dont really get it but here is what i did this time and it didn't work

matt-bergerons-computer:~/desktop/junk/Legal.localized mattbergeron$ sudo rm *.*rm: Tiếng Việt.html: No such file or directory
Click to expand...

I can’t quite understand the above.

The command once you’re in the ~/desktop/junk/Legal.localized folder should simply be:

‘sudo rm *.*’ or ‘sudo rm *.html’

I don’t understand why it (or how it could have) responded with the Tiếng Việt.html file name. The file name is gibberish when you’re viewing it in Terminal.
