I did a clean install of Lion OS using a boot disk that I created and then used migration assistant to transfer my backup files over from Time Machine kept on my external Lacie drive. However, I noticed after the transfer that while my applications made it over my personal files (movies, pictures, documents, etc...) did not make it over.
I went to my latest backup and dragged and dropped this stuff from my external drive to my HD. Including files in my Library folder. Now though I realize that the files in Library were backup. So if I try to delete a file, a folder, or remove the entire Library I can't. I get the message:
"The operation can't be completed because backup items can't be modified."
I must have made some mistake along the way. Is there a way to get the Library folder and files off my Lion HD, and then transfer them over? Do I need to delete my HD and migrate Time Machine files over again?
Please help. Any assistance would be great.
