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

just do this
xxxx ( file name and path )
or you can connection between the mobile and computer and make scan then delete the file easy
HTML Code:
umount /dev/mmcblk0p1 fsck -a /dev/mmcblk0p1 mount /dev/mmcblk0p1
HTML Code:
rm -rf xxxx
or you can connection between the mobile and computer and make scan then delete the file easy
