Dear LxTT

In the process of removing all files from a failed install of Lopster I am 
stuck with this weird Directrory with some mystery files in it.

I cannot get any root permission to read or write as per below.

Can someone explain how to delete this. I have put in in trash and whenever I 
try to empty trash it freezes X for about 2 minutes.

Thanks
Raena
