I am using Ubuntu Jaunty on an AMD 32 bit machine. I did the following after searching Google and Ubuntu data bases.

sudo apt-get --purge remove mythtv
This is the response I get: Package mythtv is not installed, so not removed

rm -rf .mythtv, rm -rf mythtv
and
sudo rm -rf .mythtv
Only returns me to my input prompt

Now comes the really strange part.

When I check properties on the folder this is what I get:

Owner: 116 User - #116

Last changed: unknown

Select problem folder; right-click and select properties and then permissions tab. Give yourself permissions to create and delete files, close and delete folder.

I want to Thank lidex. I didn't know about Nautilus and it worked great. It is going into my quick reference list of directions that I am making. Thank You very much.

Problem Solved!
