Title: Cannot Delete Folder
Post by: Bulldog58 on February 11, 2005, 02:16:59 pm

I tried to install the zgcc environment as described by Jeff Fox at
http://s91215199.onlinehome.us/zaurus/zgcc2install.html (http://s91215199.onlinehome.us/zaurus/zgcc2install.html)

to make a long story short I have this file path created

/mnt/card/cdev/.zgcc

and "ls -a" issued from /mnt/card/cdev/.zgcc returns nothing.
If I try to "rm -r .zgcc" from /mnt/card/cdev I get "unable to remove '.zgcc': Directory not empty

I can rename the cdev directory, but I cannot rename the .zgcc directory. If I try to rename .zgcc directory I get "unable to rename '.zgcc': no such file or directory

I really need to delete the cdev directory and all files in it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Code: [Select]

rm -rf /mnt/card/cdev/.zgccor if that fails

Code: [Select]

sudo rm -rf /mnt/card/cdev/.zgcc
If both of these fails then the SD card may be mounted read-only

Try rebooting the Z and try deleting again
