Can't Remove Directory?

[mascarasnake]

Since I made a frivolous use of this thread, I guess I could add 
something constructive. You can always access files graphically by 
opening your GUI file browser as root and renaming it that way.

In GNOME (and I assume KDE and Konqueror will do the same) as root:
	nautilus /DirectoryToLookAt
or
	konqueror /DirectoryToLookAt
from there you should be able to rename the errant file or directory by 
right clicking and selecting rename.
