Albert,
I have Qshell but when I try to rm the directory it tells me the
files are read only and won't delete them.
It's unclear from your description whether this means that the files
have the PC read-only flag set? (that's for compatibility with MS-DOS,
and I haven't seen anyone use it in a long time) or whether it means
that you only have read-authority (and therefore insufficient authority
to delete the objects)
You could try turning the PC read-only flag off. From QShell, the
following command should turn off the PC read-only flag on all files in
a directory:
find /path/to/myfolder -exec attr {} PC_READ_ONLY=0 \;
You could then delete them use rm -rf as before.
If it's an authority problem, you'll have to use an account with more
authority (not much I can do about that!)
