Problems emptying trash

Hello.


Trying to empty my trash (regular and secure) but keep getting the following message:


"The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient provileges for some of the items."


I am logged on as the administrator. Some of the folders that I want to delete are from external hard drives which are plugged in when trying to delete. They are formatted as FAT25.


I read through some of the other discussions and none of them have solved my problem. Any other suggestions?


Thanks.

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
