Hi Robert This is a wild guess from a old Linux user, but it works. If you want to delete all of them, just go into the user's home directory were this folder is located as a file, rename the file using "mv" command, and "touch" the file back with the old name and you will have not deleted but done better by saving at another location (file) and having the folder empty now for the user.
