Unable to delete Dropbox folder from my local hard disk I have installed Dropbox app on Mac. This created a folder named &quot;Dropbox&quot; in my home folder.
I copied a large folder into this Dropbox folder.
The syncing of this folder is taking a lot of time so I have unlinked the Dropbox folder from Dropbox app (Dropbox app preferences -&gt; Account -&gt; Unlink the dropbox). Now when I try to delete this &quot;Dropbox&quot; folder I get the below error:
  The operation can’t be completed because some items had to be skipped. 
For each item, choose File &gt; Get Info, make sure “Locked” is deselected, and then check the Sharing &amp; Permissions section. 
When you are sure the items are unlocked and not designated as Read Only or No Access, try again.

I have seen the 'Get Info' and see that the folder has 'locked' checkbox not ticked and also in users I see that I have read&amp;write access
I also restarted my Mac but I still get the same error
How do I delete this folder(including all its sub-folders). How can I force delete this folder?
I am able to move the folder to Bin but I cannot delete the folder from Bin. I was doing 'Delete immediately' option and the folder is not getting deleted. How do I get the free space on my hard drive back?
Assuming the folder is in the Trash now:


Open Terminal
cd ~/.Trash
rm -r Dropbox


If the folder isn't in Trash, skip the second step.
