Now when I look on my phone and go to my photo album, I see a load of read-only files in with my pictures, but it won't let me delete them from the phone. They aren't there when I plug the phone into the laptop.
Does anyone know how I can get rid of them?
Also try checkdisk via pc to check memory.Sometimes disconnecting without eject makes read only error in n900

try
root
umount /home/user/MyDocs
fsck.vfat -a /dev/mmcblk0p1
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /home/user/MyDocs
and then reboot your n900
or try finding those files via filebox if they hidden.

You can try to install filebox and set it to be root and then go to the folder where you got the images and try to delete them.
You can also try to type sudo gainroot and then cd to /home/user/MyDocs/.images (or replace .images with DCIM if itīs pictures taken with the camera and remove with the rm command. Use the command ls to see whats in the directory.
