I am just a worthless liar. I am just an imbecile.
I will only complicate you. Trust in me and fall as well.
I will find a center in you. I will chew it up and leave.
I will work to elevate you just enough to bring you down.
reboot and try again.

Maybe you don't have permission 'cos you don't have permission.
Tried logging in as root?
Pneuberator.
ok wise guy
yeah, logged in as root,
tried right-click > delete,
checked permissions,
opened a terminal session in the directory,
opened a terminal and cd'ed to the directory,
did a file search (which let me delete a newer nicotine installation),
it was just those two folders that wouldnt go
i dont know if python wasnt letting em go or what...
but those fkrs were locked up good n tight
its ok, cuz that gave me an excuse to try another distro
givin fedora a go now

I assume you shut down everything that had to do with nicotine, 'cos even if you screwed up the install it might have been running.
If you are sure you did that, and if you tried after a reboot, then maybe it might still have been possible to do it without initiating a window manager.
I've never run into a file i couldn't delete one way or another.
's how I once killed mandy, deleting files I wasn't supposed to be able to.
Pneuberator.
ah well....
still in the "cuttin my teeth" phase of linux
after i f00k around with fedora for a bit i'll probably go back to suse
see what happens then
maybe i'll have learned a little more

try not using the GUI, use the console. If you're root and you're using a console there is absolutely no reason you should be getting access denied..
The Leftover Crack
have you tried something like:
lsof / | grep <the thingie you want deleted>
kill -KILL <bastard that has locked the thingie>
rm -rf <that damn thing>
could work...
