Cant delete a file....why?

Hi all

I have recently purchased a MacBook and have leopard installed.

I want to uninstall Fireworks from my machine so i dragged the folders to the trash but the main folder wont allow me to delete it? I had a look at the file permissions and it says I have read-write access but there are two other user profiles on there that say read only. I am logged in as admin but still no joy, it seems it thinks im one of the other users or something?

How on earth can i delete this file, its driving me nuts as i cant install my new cs3 package.

Thanks in advance

It sounds like the computer thinks it's still in use. I'd reboot and try deleting it without opening it.

Nope i've tried that - same issue everytime!

its like it thinks im not admin so only gives me read access

You could force delete it using MainMenu

I tried ACL Fix and iRepair but nither helped, they changed the file permissions to read/write for everyone, unkown and myself in the get info but still get error code -61.

Whats main menu force delete or how do i do it?

Download MainMenu, it does a number of things as well to keep your mac in tip-top condition

Great cheers mate -i'll try that. Fingers crossed

Right got that - what option is it to force delete, its not obvious?

Fireworks is installed using an installer. I would recommend running that installer and choosing uninstall.
