On your Mac, drag the item to the Trash in the Dock or select the item, then press Command-Delete.
To do so, press and hold "CTRL" and click the external hard drive icon. Select "Eject" to remove it from the desktop. Alternatively, drag the hard drive icon from the desktop to the trash bin to remove it from the desktop.
If you cannot delete an item in Mac OS X, try the following: Check to see if the file (or a file within the folder) is being used by an application. Quit all open applications, and then try to empty the Trash. If the item is a file, click the file once.
As described in this article mac-wont-boot-full-disk you need to mount you disk in RW mode :
sudo /sbin/mount -uw /
then you'll be able to remove what you want
