I'm rebooting. Do I need to mount back up the mmcblk0p1?

I haven't rebooted yet, I'm waiting for clarification

*SNIP*

All that text just means it found lots of errors there and tried to fix them as best it could. Ie. it works as intended now.

Nope, it mounts it when it reboots. Just reboot now and you'll be good!

EDIT: And sorry it took me a while to respond, I am coding something and didn't notice the reply to this thread :/

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

It's ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY alright, your advice worked perfect and now the ENTIRE folder is gone. Farewell. Problem solved, I owe you and everyone here a HUGE TTHANK YOU

MERCI

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

I might have the same issue here, but with the internal memory (/dev/mmcblk0p2). Any suggestions on how to fix that?

Edit: My bad! Too early in the morning for me. Did as it was explained in the first post. Fixed and I have serenity in my life again.

Thanks!

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

@WereCatf
thankyou so much for that, my emmc was all read only and couldn't delete anything. i followed your instruction and it's back to normal brilliant. :D

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

You guys are welcome. I know that my problems would be a help to someone :)

To OP: turn off ALL extra applications, including any instant messengers and all on your phone, then open x terminal and type the following there:

root
umount /dev/mmcblk0p1
fsck.vfat -aw /dev/mmcblk0p1
reboot

This should bring it back to life, unless the 'umount' command gives an error about open files. If you have any open files there you need to close them all before doing this.

Another noobie with this same problem. Tried filebox, with no success, tried unmounting, no success, tried to delete files and folder, no success. Registered to the forum with plans to disturb u guys, but this did it for me.

U have been thanked!

try this in terminal.
root
umount /media/mmc
#if emmc then use
umount /home/user/MyDocs
fsck.vfat -af /dev/mmcblk0p1(if sdcard use mmcblk1p1)

if umounting is failing for some reason as you report please post the error here.
