Problem

I'm unable to delete some folder on my external hard disk. I tried them to delete in safe mode too but I'm not able to perform this. This is a big headache to me now. Even I'm the admin and it still needs the admin privileges to delete them. So how can I get rid of from this trouble? Please help me!
