You've got the right command there but, as I thought, it doesn't work as root. You can see that it's trying to delete the index files from /root when they're actually in /home/user. Rerun the "tracker-processes -r" command as the normal user.

Re: how to delete read only files from N900
 
hi everyone
i had downloaded some videos through torrent using transmission but all the videos are "read-only" files and cannot be deleted. They are in the downloads folder and i cant get rid of them.
Will this index method work?
ive tried the gainroot method but it doesnt seem to work and says unable to rmdir downloads...
any help will be much appreciated thank you in advance.

Hi gaffa

I had the same issue, with transmission, after it crashed the
/home/user/MyDocs folder became readonly, and I could not
delete the torrents and or save any pictures.


This is what I did :


1) From xterm I signed in as root and remounted the filesystem in
/home/user/MyDocs as read and write.

Code:
    mount -o remount,rw  /home/user/MyDocs
2) I deleted the torrents

Code:
    rm -rf  /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/files.torrent*
3)Checked what device was mounted /home/user/MyDocs under

Code:
  Nokia-N900-42-11:~# df -h

  /dev/mmcblk0p1  27.0G  1.3G 25.7G  5% /home/user/MyDocs
4) And runed fsck.vfat to clear filesystem inconsistencies on the
device reported /dev/mmcblk0p1

a) I unmounted filesystem first *****that is very important

Code:
Nokia-N900-42-11:~# umount /home/user/MyDocs/
b) Then fsck.vfat /dev/mmcblk0p1
Code:
Nokia-N900-42-11:~# fsck.vfat /dev/mmcblk0p1
dosfsck 3.0.1, 23 Nov 2008, FAT32, LFN
alleged total clusters: 442377
4424
8848
13272
17696
checked clusters: 21510
/dev/mmcblk0p1: 1797 files, 21510/442377 clusters
Nokia-N900-42-11:~#
I had to run fsck.vfat a few times until it came up clear v

5) I rebooted the n900 and all was OK.

Re: how to delete read only files from N900
 
Hi! I have this problem as well.

When I run:
Code:
fsck.vfat /dev/mmcblk0p1
fsck version and so forth.
alleged total clusters: 442377
and then it askes me:
Code:
FATs differ but appear to be intact. Use which FAT ?
1) Use first FAT
2) Use second FAT
Suggestions? :confused:

[SOLVED] by
Code:
fsck -r /dev/mmcblk0p1
and by pressing '1' for the first FAT and then answering 'yes' if I wanted to make some changes.
Then just reboot and filesystem is read/write again. :)
