It would appear that English is not your first language, and you're having some trouble wording your question. It would also appear to me that what you're trying to ask is, how do you delete files owned by root when you are not connected as root?

The answer to that question is, root must set the permissions on those files so that whoever you are logging in as has permission to delete them.

I hope this helps.

dear what you mean by any file? is it irrespective of file permissions you are able to delete?

I think why you are able to delete files by user other then root because the directory files reside have rw permissions set for all users.

Will be good if you can post the parent directory permissions as well some sample files permissions which you are able to delete.
