ianw1974 Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Did you extract it as root? If so, a simple method is to click the star, and then run program and type: kdesu konqueror enter root password when prompted, then go to /home/username/Desktop and delete the file from the desktop. Change username with your username. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
