At any rate, to solve the problem you don't have to use Terminal, and you don't have to delete anything. Just do the following:

Why not just delete it instead of renaming it? If not, you'll just have a useless old folder laying around.
Renaming a folder is good practice if you are troubleshooting and may want to put the old folder back if it's not the problem.
But it is the problem, so...

I find it also good practice if you are not sure what you are doing. The original poster mentioned this, and mentioned that they were nervous about deleting files which they did not know about.

I therefore often recommend this approach in instructions to others, as it is non-destructive. If the person following the instructions misunderstands something and renames an incorrect file, then there is no harm done: they can simply revert the change. On the other hand, if they delete an incorrect file and empty the trash, they will have to hope that they have a good backup.

On modern OSes a few extra folders lying around will make no significant difference, neither to performance nor to disk usage. ;-)
