Hello!


If you are trying to delete folders from desktop you simply have to right click on the folder and choose the move to trash option. If you are trying to move them to another location, open the finder window and navigate to the location where you want the folder to be placed. Once there, drag the folder from the desktop to the new location in finder. Check out the link below for more information about file management.
