So here is my problem I have a pretty strange file that I can't get out of my computer.
I tried pretty much everything. First I used software like CleanMyMac, TrashIt, CCleaner etc... None of them was able to do anything.
I tried to throw it to the trash and "secure trash it". It did not complete, so I finally aborted it.
I then tried to use the terminal with a
sudo rm -R
but no: still there. The file is untrashable because it seems not to exist...
Here is a view of what I got:
sh-3.2# sudo rm -R /Users/Mawel/.Trash/Tunnelblick.app
rm: /Users/Mawel/.Trash/Tunnelblick.app/Contents/Frameworks/Sparkle.framework/Resources: No such file or directory
rm: /Users/Mawel/.Trash/Tunnelblick.app/Contents/Frameworks/Sparkle.framework/Versions/Current: No such file or directory
rm: /Users/Mawel/.Trash/Tunnelblick.app/Contents/Frameworks/Sparkle.framework/Versions: Directory not empty
rm: /Users/Mawel/.Trash/Tunnelblick.app/Contents/Frameworks/Sparkle.framework: Directory not empty
rm: /Users/Mawel/.Trash/Tunnelblick.app/Contents/Frameworks: Directory not empty
rm: /Users/Mawel/.Trash/Tunnelblick.app/Contents: Directory not empty
rm: /Users/Mawel/.Trash/Tunnelblick.app: Directory not empty
Is it basically telling me that there is nothing there and I can't delete nothing?

I tried some of your answers especially the one where I force the remove of each file one by one.
Here is a sample of what happen :
sh-3.2# cd Sparkle.framework/
sh-3.2# ls -al
total 8
drwxr-xr-x@ 4 root wheel 136 22 jan 2014 .
drwxr-xr-x@ 3 root wheel 102 17 jan 2014 ..
lrwxrwxrwx@ 1 root wheel 26 22 jan 2014 Resources -> Versions/Current/Resources
drwxr-xr-x@ 3 root wheel 102 9 fév 2014 Versions
sh-3.2# sudo rm -f Resources
sh-3.2# ls -al
total 8
drwxr-xr-x@ 4 root wheel 136 22 jan 2014 .
drwxr-xr-x@ 3 root wheel 102 17 jan 2014 ..
lrwxrwxrwx@ 1 root wheel 26 22 jan 2014 Resources -> Versions/Current/Resources
drwxr-xr-x@ 3 root wheel 102 9 fév 2014 Versions
sh-3.2#

Thanks to DisplayName I finally manage to remove them by moving them to the /tmp folder and cleaning it.
