How do you delete a Time Machine created backup directory?
I installed OS 10.5 as an upgrade. After a day, I decided to reinstall with the archive and install option. However, I had already backed up my system with Time Machine. So I have this directory on my second hard disk:
drwxr-xrwx+ 3 root myusername 102 Oct 29 19:31 Backups.backupdb
I noticed the + and removed the ACL with sudo. However, I still cannot remove the folder with: sudo rm -rf Backups.backupdb. I get "operation not permitted" on all attempts. Dragging the folder to the trash yield similar results. *What is the Terminal (bash) way to delete this folder?*
Also, I noticed all sub-directories have an @ symbol, like this:
0 drwxr-xr-x@ 12 root myusername 408 Oct 30 15:59 mycomputer
*What does the @ mean?*
drwxr-xrwx+ 3 root myusername 102 Oct 29 19:31 Backups.backupdb
