xxx-imac:mymovie admin$ sudo rm -d ./iMovie\ Cache

xxx-imac:mymovie admin$ sudo rm -dRf ./iMovie\ Cache

iMovie no longer uses this directory to store events. iMovie is not running. This directory is on an external drive (formatted by OS X). I am Administrator of the machine.

Would greatly appreciate any ideas.
