Make sure you know what you're doing.

well i have located the files i need to delete using your technique you have given me on terminal.
i cant locate the file manual through folder manager so i have to delete them using terminal.
i have tried using rm (Filename) however i get a message "rm (Filename) is a directory"
does this mean i have to do something esle to delete them
thank you

Edit, i tried using rmdir but i get this message "rmdir: (filename): directory not empty"
