I assume the "iacora1" is the node name.

That need not be considered

You need to check whether you have got permissions to delete the particular directory

Did you try after giving the permissions ? Smilie

[QUOTE=matrixmadhan]what are the permissions that are currently set to the directory / files under consideration ?

Did you try after giving the permissions ?

i gave every read write execute permission to files as well as the directory

Consider this directory structure,
Code:
cd ~/sub/abc
ls -l
rwxrwxrwx    1 user  group          0 Mar  5 16:53 one*
cd ..
ls -l
dr-xr-xr-x    2 user  group       4096 Mar  5 16:54 abc/
rm abc/one
rm: cannot remove `abc/one': Permission denied


Though rwx is available for the files, the directory in which the files are available should have a minimum of 'w' and 'x'.
Then only the file(s) can be deleted!
