I've recently done and archive and install. After copying all the files i thought i needed from the previous system folder to the new operating system, i deleted the previous system folder.

However, when emptying the trash, i can't delete the air port base station cause it's in use. But i cant move it into the new system folder because it says that it cannot be modified. There is a button that says Authenticate, but it doesn't do anything. How do i get it back into that folder??

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
