Q: How Do I Delete A File That Won't Delete?

Silly question I'm sure but this has me a little perplexed. I updated
AppleWorks from 6.2.7 to 6.2.9. All went well and it seems to work just
fine so I decided to delete the 6.2.7 app. Whenever I attempt to empty
the trash, I get the dialog box that says "starting points",
"clippings", and "AppleWorks Essentials" are locked and can't be
deleted. However, when I find those folders in the AppleWorks folder,
they are not locked. In fact, nothing that I can find that is related
to AppleWorks is locked. Nothing else in the trash had any problem
being deleted. What gives? Permissions were fine. I'm running 10.3.
Advice and guiidance would be appreciated.

 

Hmm, I just used the updater as is to update 6.2.7 to 6.2.9. All it
did, apparently, was install another app labeled 6.2.9. So I just
attempted to dump the old app, 6.2.7, to the trash. All of the other
files in the AppleWorks folder remained. I've never used Terminal so
this should be interesting.
