And for future reference...

>From the terminal (Applications|Accessories|Terminal) simply:

gksu nautilus

That will bring up the Nautilus file browser in root mode. You can then
go to 'File System' then the /opt directory and delete to your hearts
content. Obvious warnings about deleting files that you shouldn't apply.

If you want to add 'File Browswer (root)' to your Applications|System
Tools directory you can do this:

gksudo gedit /usr/share/applications/Nautilus-root.desktop

- Insert the following lines into the new file

[Desktop Entry]
Name=File Browser (Root)
Comment=Browse the filesystem with the file manager
Exec=gksudo "nautilus --browser %U"
Icon=file-manager
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Application;System;

save the file. Now go to the Applications|Systems
Tools menu and you will find an icon & item marked
'File Browser (Root)'
click & it will issue the gksudo nautilus command for you.
