I asume, that he tried to do this with rm -f as roo, because he uses ls 
-l as commandline as root, too. If so (check that first!), then you're 
in trouble, and it seems that you got a file system error.

If you checked that you tried to delete the files as root, and you did, 
then do
shutdown -rF now
To do an filesystem check at boottime.

If you are able to unmount the disk partitition with the mentioned 
files, then you can remount the partitition read-only, or unmount the 
partition to do the fsck manually.
What kind of filesystem are you using, and what are youre hardware 
resources, especially cpu and ram?

I hope that helps

Kind regards
