Error code -61

Hello everyone,

I have an external hard drive (iomega 500GB) which loaded files from a PC. They transferred well into my new MacBook Pro, but now I can't delete them. It first gives me a popup saying that the item will be deleted immediately when I move it to the Trash Can, and then it says this:

"Sorry, the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred. (Error code -61)"

I did a search here but I wasn't able to find this answered. My guess is that it has something to do with permissions or something? I can provide screenshots if needed.

Thanks.

MacBook Pro 15", Mac OS X (10.5.8)
