1. Take the folder out of the trash, leave it activated.
2. Try to share it, there is an option for shared folders:
   when checked a folder can't be moved or renamed.(This is not in GET INFO)
3. Even if it's not checked, check it, close the window and save changes.
4. Now unshare THE FOLDER FROM THE HELL and UNCHECK it so that
   it CAN be removed or renamed, save chances.
5. Trash it! (Or TRY to trash it...)
