How to delete other's folders which are in our own folder?
Hi All,

I need a solution for the following scenario.

I am the owner for the particular folder and I have given 777 permissions for some specific reasons. So others can able to create folders and files.

But when I am done with the work, I need to delete the folders which are created by others. I was not able to delete their folders since they did not give read permission.

Is there any way to delete their folders ??
