Hey gents... got a KDE problem

Stephanie · 01-24-2002, 08:55 AM

One of my user accounts will not delete because a file folder is stopping it. it is .kde, the KDE configuration file.

Strange, but nothing is in it. And I cant delete it as root from either graphical or console controls. As a result, this user account is still sitting there. I want it gone.

Is there a command that will force a deletion, or any idea why root cannot delete it?

the stock answer is that it might somehow be set immutable 'chattr -i filename' but i reckon that's acutlly just a myth...

kde problem ehh... problem being that you're using kde i presume... gnome rocks

Hey, be nice. I like GNOME, but KDE is prettier.

Anyway, I can tell you that the owner and group I changed to root, and I still cant delete it.

rm -rf /home/usersname

does that give an error

I can't imagine anything that has feces in it being pretty.
