There was some discussion of this not too long ago here, and someone came
up with a suggestion I hadn't thought of:  if you have DiskTop, use that
to delete the folder.  (If you don't have DiskTop, get it.  :))  There was 
some perfectly reasonable technical explanation for why DT can delete
folders the Finder won't, but I don't remember what that was.  Can anyone
re-explain?
