you should be allowed to delete sub folders. which folder r u talking about?
what is it called. some folders act differently. there is a way to remove
the system folder propertly for them if they are a 'my documents'
sub-folder. if you really just want to get rid of it you could just try
relocating it. usually when you relocate a folder it just stays where you
put it and does not come back to where it was unless it is being used by an
application.
