Installed Directories are Owned by Root?

Installed Directories are Owned by Root?

So I attempted a oneclick install, decided I didn't like it and proceeded to delete the file... well, I'm running into a slight problem because root seem to be the owner of many of the directories installed by one-click...

so now I have a ton of empty folders, I've tried rm -rf but I just get access denied.

Doh!

This has come up a few times before. It seems that the install script doesn't always run perfectly and fogets to chown the files or something. You'll have to contact support and ask them to delete it for you. Just be very specific about which directores you want deleted.
