how do I access "root"

[dracaena]

... all the instructions I read tell me to select a folder, right-click and I will be given a choice "actions"...but that doesn't happen for me! I have installed kubuntu over ubuntu ... now I need to clean-up and can't seem to find a way in .... HELP!

Yeah, there are a lotta ways. For a GUI browser like Konqueror or Dolphin, you do Alt-F2 and

kdesu konqueror

for example.

Re: how do I access "root"

Here is good service menu (= "actions") for konqueror/dolphin:
Root Actions Servicemenu

Root Actions servicemenu is a replacement/alternative for the default Edit-as-root servicemenu in kubuntu.

----Notes for Dolphin users-------------------------------------------
The service menu should work on KDE4 dolphin, though you might wish to edit rootactionsfolders.desktop and replace 'konqueror' with 'dolphin'

KDE3 dolphin (d3lphin) has a few issues with servicemenus, so I've included a d3lphin friendly version of the menu in the download.

and Konqueror's service menus in the Dolphin:
