May 10, 201115 yr I need help to delete files. When I try to delete the files, I receive the following message: Cannot delete file "filename" Read only file system (30) The file was a probably a hidden or read-only file from a windows backup. I had copied an enitre windows drive as part of a backup. I was able to delete most of the files but a few produce the above error and won't delete. Don't assume I know much about linux. Most of my deleting has been done so far with Midnight Commander.
May 10, 201115 yr It sounds like you need to run rieserfsck. But I can't be sure without seeing your syslog.
