deleting files on MTP device -libmtp and support for new devices
 
Have spend the last week and a half trying to find a reliable solution for deleting files via command line from a Samsung gear 360 camera.

I've tried, mtps, mtp-tools, gphoto2, and also simple-mtpfs which allows treating MTP device as mass storage

With each solution I am able to mount, unmount, list files, copy files.

What I am unable to do however, is delete files on the actual camera.

I always either get a PTP read only or permission denied error.

Is this because this camera is not fully supported by libmtp yet?

Can anyone offer any workarounds?

is this an android device?
if so, i recommend using
Code:

adb
to access its OS.

if not - well, i have the same "problem" on my old canon camera.
i just live with it, always copy everything to my hd, then delete everything from the camera's ui.
