Morning everyone ,
I'm having difficulty to remove a specific folder from my external HDD.
It gives read errors during rsync's and that causes issues to me. It doesn't
have anything important so I need to remove it.
However , in Nautilus it gives the error that I can't remove it as the
directory isn't empty.
But there is nothing in the folder.
gksudo nautilus gives the same error.
I also tried in cli sudo rm -fvr * but also same error.
I don't understand why I can't delete this folder. It's an NTFS drive so
permissions should even be
a problem , and I used two different sudo options that should have gone
past that if it was.
All other folders on the same drive I can delete without an issue. Just
this 1 specific one.
Can you guys give me any other ideas how to get this troublesome folder
removed please.
Thanx
Ubuntu 12.04 64bit.
