Re: How do I delete a read-only folder ?
 

The dot in the find command means to start the search from the current directory, and "-type d" tells find to look for and match directories.

The filesystem wouldn't be mounted read-only without a reason, either filesystem errors or a hardware error, though if it had been mounted read-only you could check "dmesg" to look for any relevant error messages telling why the kernel remounted it read-only.

Re: How do I delete a read-only folder ?
 

I doubt it's the file system mounted as read-only though because open reboot everything is accessable, I can delete songs, and pictures, but as soon as I got into the folder that was being extracted when my device froze, and try to delete a file in there, one might delete but if I look at another it'll say read only and then my songs become read only and folders and pictures also, if I reboot then it's back to normal again, and if I run chmod 777 on a file then it will become deleteable but I'll have to reboot again and again, each time for each file, or so it seems, I can't check now because it's plugged in and I'm running the scan for erros which still is taking forever.

Re: How do I delete a read-only folder ?
 

that will have to be done later as the device is plugged into the pc running an error scan on the internal memory, im not sure if closing off the scan will cause damage and it's taking VERY long to complete

Re: How do I delete a read-only folder ?
 

this is what path looks like. it looks like being mounted via nfs and as quick shot i would think you got a stale handle somewhere around that needs to be deleted, but.... we have to verify that hypothesis.
