Unable to delete old Adobe Creative Suite files on Mac

Last night I was checking in my trash and saw the entire old Creative Suite. I pulled them out of trash and now they are on my desktop and can't delete them. The message is always "The operation can't be completed because "Adobe Bridge (or whatever)"needs to be downloaded.I have tried dragging into trash, comand delete, restarting the computer. Any new ideas?

I would reboot into SafeBoot mode, log in and try emptying your Trash can...
