Error removing file: Permission denied I'm trying to remove a big folder chmod 777 from my hard drive, but I get the following error message: Error removing file: Permission denied The "permissions" tab in the directory's properties window says that it has read, write, and execute for owner, user, and group. But it still refuses to be removed. I've tried removing them as root in the terminal, but it doesnt work. I have no idea have chmod works. I am the biggest n00b ever. Help!

Code: sudo rm -rf /path/to/directory/ Note that if you dont have the permissions to be removing the directory you probably shouldnt be. Take another second to think about what you are doing because you wont be able to undo this.

I am tired of having to delete everything file permission denied by writing sudo every time. Is it possible to just grant root privileges to the user so I do not have to run sudo every single time? arch-linux share|improve this question asked Mar 12 '15 at 11:17 jsguy 1033 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 1 down vote accepted No. You can log in as root, but that is dangerous and not recommended. Instead, set the correct ownership on the files in the first place. If they are your files, within for example, /home/jsguy then they should all (mostly?) be owned by you at which point you can delete them without using sudo. However, if they are system files, for example, the list of users in /etc/passwd then allowing users to delete this would cause mayhem - nobody could log in. Therefore, these files are owned by root, who is the only user who can delete them. You temporarily become root using sudo. share|improve this answer answered Mar 12 '15 at 12:28 garethTheRed 16k23148 add a comment| Your Answer draft saved draft discarded Sign up or log in Sign up usin
