You probably don't own the folder. Use sudo.

Oh. Sudo is the special word meaning admin. So if you have a command like rm and it fails due to permissions you simply add sudo. sudo rm. But I see that your problem is the folder name. So nevermind. Maybe look at the spaces? Maybe you have tab$tab instead of space$space?
