Installing new software starts half-failing, because it has very little space; it downloads the software, installs it, filling up the space, then removing the .deb it downloaded. Now your memory's not quite full, but the program is not installed right.

but this isnt the question, the question is

In my system memory trying to install scummvm(which i have not successed installing) i made a folder and now i want to delete it but it wont allow me to it saays read-only
this is the directory

how do i remove the folder wich is called lure
home/user/MyDocs/lure

thank you
A more helpful title for the thread, especially since the first line of the message is not even about the topic, would have been something like: "Can't delete folder; says read-only"
Anyway, go to the xterm and run
Code:
rm -rf /home/user/MyDocs/lure/
I know nothing of scummvm, but I think there's an IT-related IRC a bunch of the guys hang out on. Might have better luck there than with a punctuation-challenged IM request in a mis-titled forum thread...
