Hi I installed 10.3

and I have to make a new system, and archive the old OS 10.2

It have left me with a folder in the "Previous system" folder called core
services that I cant delete.

have tried everting to delete it, including the program called DeletIt, but
still its there, and I cant put it in any folder to hide it, as it only
makes a copy of itself.

quell problemo.

WARNING - make sure there´s nothing in the folder that you want!!!

launch Terminal.app
$ sudo rm -rf <path to Previous System folder (drag it into the Terminal
window for auto-insertion)>

at the prompt, type in an admin password

If this fails, you´ll need to enable the root account on your system, and
then repeat above from a root account
