It has two spawn. I can use the same command, just change the directory to the drive that it is on to eliminate the vermin, right?

open the offending folder so it has it's own window.
Start Terminal.
type cd and drag the folder icon from the window above to the termoonal window. That will add the full path of the folder to the command line (there has to be a space between the cd and the path.
If you do it right it'll look somehwat like this:
the-pismo:~ johnson$ cd /Users/johnson/Programs/tnef-1.3.2
Hit return.
Now close the finder window of the folder.
Now type cd .. and hit return. That moves you back up the directory tree and the prompt should look like:
the-pismo:~ johnson$ cd /Users/johnson/Programs/tnef-1.3.2 the-pismo:~/Programs/tnef-1.3.2 johnson$ cd .. the-pismo:~/Programs johnson$
now type:
sudo rm -rf <folder name>
If the folder name has spaces, enclose the name in double quotes, like this:
sudo rm -rf "Folder from Hell"
You will be asked for your admin password, and perhaps offered a bit of advice about being polite with other people's files, if this is the first tiome you've run sudo,
The folder should be deleted.
typing ls then hitting return should show that the folder doesn't exist anymore (The finder may still show it, sometimes updates are a bit slow)
