It’s really very simple.
Bring up a terminal window.
At the command prompt type sudo rm -r <directory-name>
So, if you wanted to remove a directory called ’spare’ that was in the directory ‘etc’ which is itself off the home directory you would simply type without the quotes ’sudo rm -r /etc/spare’
The system will prompt you for your administrative password. Enter that, hit enter, and the job is done.
