These folders occur at /home/username.
How does this name discrepancy arise? (Uppercase E versus lowercase e.)
It seems to be a shortcut to /usr/share/example-content.
How can I delete /usr/share/example-content/Ubuntu_Free_Culture_Showcase without using the command line?
One possible answer is to make a privileged Nautilus using something like these SUSE instructions (link below). Unfortunately "gnomesu nautilus" gives me a "gnomesu: no such file" message and "sudo nautilus" does not do anything when added to the properties of the Launcher. Update: "sudo nautilus" from the console let's me delete but there is a mess of error messages.
