Remove Classic cleanly
Authored by: Baggins on May 05, '05 03:30:30PM

You don't need to reboot into single user mode to do this.

Just type sudo rm -rf 'System Folder' at a terminal prompt.

The "file is in use" error only happens when you try to trash through the finder.

Remove Classic cleanly

Sure, that'll do it. I just figured that the notification about being in use may indicate some semi-regular access to the folder, and voted not to trash it whilst things were potentially looking there.

You're quite right though, if you feel brave, that'll certainly remove the directory.
