run the following command(just copy and paste it to the terminal)

you open a terminal
and you run this
Code:
su -c "rm -rf /home/arun/Desktop/aru"
this will ask for the root password. you enter it and you should be done.

afterwards run the following command to check if the folder is deleted or not
Code:
ls /home/arun/Desktop/aru
tell us what happens afterwards
