Hi guys,
I was copying a file from /home/user/kroll to /home/user/My Docs/Games/Maemo/kroll via WinSCP. I cancelled the "duplicate" command in WinSCP, as it was a large file (approx. 200 Mb) and I was worried that my battery would die before the transfer was completed.
I now have a small file in /home/user/My Docs/Games/Maemo/kroll that I am trying to delete, to no avail. I have tried the following:
1. Delete the file from file manager - error "Unable to continue - read only folder"
2. Delete the file from xterm as root (rm -f core.pakd000) - error "unable to remove 'core.pakd000': Read-only file system
3. Delete the directory from xterm as root (rmdir kroll) - error "Read-only file system"
4. Delete the directory from xterm as root (rm -rf kroll) - error "Read-only file system"
I have been reading about Read-only file systems, but I haven't been able to find a problem that is similar enough to mine as an example to use for a solution.
If anyone can shed some light, it would be most appreciated.
