You just have to use a command:

Start the Terminal

- Type "sudo rm • • •-R"
- Drag files, folders that you want to remove as a result of this command
- Confirm
- Give an administrator password
- Confirm

Note: WARNING do not forget to drag files to the end of the command.
Substitute "•" with spaces.
Respect the capital "R". It can delete folders and files.

Quotation marks are not to be seized.
