NOT QUITE............
Authored by: Miga on Sep 05, '02 09:26:27PM

It is a so called nice feature. It allows you to retrieve the settings of a deleted user if you want to.

But, as you probably don't want, you can get rid of it in the terminal.

Open the terminal, type sudo -s, then type enter, enter your admin password at the prompt, then type enter, then type rm -rf plus one space and drag and drop the folder from the trash to the terminal, then type enter.

The folder is deleted. Then type exit plus enter to exit from root. Quit terminal.

Use this technique with caution as it works from anywhere but without putting the deleted files in the trash. Hence you cannot recover them.
