Re: Unable to delete a .filepart
 
Often when something like that happens, it's because there is I/O activity on the partition you are trying to unmount. Make sure nothing is running and check with listing the open files.

Code:
sudo lsof | grep <write_partition_here>
If anything is open, kill it and try again.
Good luck!

Have you tried deleting the file as root?

just do this


HTML Code:
umount /dev/mmcblk0p1
fsck -a /dev/mmcblk0p1
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1
HTML Code:
rm -rf  xxxx
xxxx ( file name and path )


or you can connection between the mobile and computer and make scan then delete the file easy

Tracker, most likely.
