something annoying on OS X

Hey:

I downloaded a p2p torrent application by the name of tomato torrent for mac on my school's alloted memory space. I installed it in my "desktop" folder where safare manually downloaded it.

Now, usually when i deltete the .app file or the .dmg file, the application is actually deleted. Now my problem is when i try to delete the tomatotorrent.app it gives me this error -

Access denied to Tomato Torrent.app/contents/info.plist

I am guessing info.plist has got to do something with finder but i haven't got any clues so far.

Anyone who has any clue of what i am facing right now .... pleassssssee help me.

Thanx.
Joey

Hi Gatech,

This type of thing usually happens when you don't have permission to preform an action on a spacific file or directory, in this case the info.plist file.

Unforunatly the only sure fire way I know of to remove a file from the System that you don't have permision to remove is to login as the "root" user, although this being a school computer you probably don't have access to this account.

Your best bet would be to contact your system administrator and ask him to remove the file for you .

Hope this helps,

Mark.
