[QUOTE="tachyon, post: 21230"] kjellquist, you can't type spaces in the Terminal in filenames with a backward slash "\" in front of each space character. OR you could type "sudo rm" then drag the icon representing the file you with to trash into the terminal window, and the mac will type the name for you. There are non-terminal ways to do this stuff, try searching on your favorite shareware search site for "Delete It" or "Trash It" they are small downloads and usually work. [/QUOTE]
