Open a terminal window and log in as roor user. Then do the following

cd /
rm -rf *

That should fix your problem.

PS: Don’t do this! Just kidding.

But you could open a terminal window as the file owner, and execute a simple rm on the file itself, right? I don’t know if dragging it to the recycle bin chowns it, though.

You did it before I did.

NEVER tell them what pulling the pin on the grenade does. Learning comes from pain. Pain comes from experience. We steal from our children when we don't let them touch the stove at least once.
