Q: Delete Folder

I have a Mac Mini Server running ML and this computer has two drives, System and Backup.  In Backup drive, I have a folder called "torrents".  Inside this folder, I want to delete a folder called "OS X".  Inside the OS X folder, I copied a .DMG file to another location. Unfortunately, I can't delete the OS X folder because I get an error message.  I get the error message "The operation cannot be complete..... error -8072".

 

I have tried the sudo rm -rf and the OS X folder still remains there.

I am not able to repair the permission on the Backup drive due to no OS on it. It is greyed out in Disk Utility.

 

I am not sure if I have to boot into Safe mode to see if I can delete this folder.

Mac mini, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)
