so how to delete this DIR.

EVEN I CAN NOT DELETE BY GUI MODE.

Just a question, is dir1 in another file system you had to mount????

'Cause if that's the case, you probably mounted that filesystem read-only.....

Just a guess, but I'd say you've got your filesystem mounted read-only

Run "mount" and check the output. If you can't understand it, paste it here.

And to think the error output isn't obvious enough..
