How do you unlock a folder that is ensconced on the desktop? I've already tried the Get Info route; the option for unlocking the file is greyed out. Is there a way to unlock it in terminal? Or do I log into root? If so, how? When I tried to trash the folder am told that I don't have enough privileges even though I am the administrator for the computer. If I try to add to it, I am prompted for my password and the folder seems to be opened but when I drag to it I am told again that I don't have the privileges.

I can't guarantee that it will succeed, but I'd open the Terminal and type
cd Desktop sudo rm -rf <name of the folder here>
and enter the password when requested.
