Erasing Write-Protected Files (Resolved) 2003-01-21 - By Gregory Malsack
Back
The following e-mails fixed my problem. I ran the chattr -i and was still
unable to remove the files. However, after running chattr -s -a I was able
to remove the files.
Thank you all so very much for your assistance...

run 'lsattr' and see if file has 'i' flag, which means file can not be
modified or deleted. If it has use chattr to remove the attribute.

the command you want is lsattr (LiStATTRibutes) or chattr (CHange
ATTRibutes)
