If you want the files deleted, get the system password (root)

and run this in a terminal to remove the folder

sudo rm -rf /home/#username/Desktop/#foldername

please change #whatever to the needed variables

and also keep Desktop uppercase, linux is case sensitive

Can you help with this problem?
