[QUOTE="AlyciaAnimation, post: 647728, member: 49992"] Why don't you try disconnecting the external hard drive and see if everything works as it should without it. If it does, then you're probably safe with deleting it. I kind of agree with mac0s9user, but just in case we're horribly wrong, this will be a safe way to test it out. The folder probably just kept the same permissions when it was transfered from your hard drive, so it's asking for your password. [/QUOTE]
