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. - Wikus -- _ | | | | --- --- |J E S U S| --- --- | | | | | | | | My King --- -- ubuntu-za mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-za@lists.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">ubuntu-za@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-za" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-za</a> </blockquote></div> </div></div>
