Deleting user

tristan

I deleted a user but I still have a folder under users...darrendu deleted. I want to get rid of this, but when I drag it to the trash it says I need to be root. I went into terminal as root and tried to rmdir the directory, but again its darrendu deleted. How do I cd into a directory that has a space between the directory name? How do I delete all this stuff accosciated with that user?

I've run into exactly what you're talking about and this gives you permissions to delete it. Among other things.



This app is GREAT!

Thanks I will try it out. Still though, do you know how to cd into a directory with a space in the directory name?

Never mind i got it. cd darrendu* will get me to that directory!

if the folder is: groverats pr0n/

try

cd groverats\\ pron/



I believe you can hit tab to autocomplete as well

so try

cd grov (tab)

ghost_user_name

I believe putting the path in quotes works as well

There's an App called Psuedo that works wonderfully, you open the finder from within this app and you can now switch between a Admin Finder and a root finder, any windows opened in the root finder you have root access to... just go the Users and remove the folder... DONE.
