Made a root directory and mounted read-only files there, can't remove them now

I did

Code:

sudo mkdir /media/games

and

Code:

sudo mount -o loop ~/FILE.iso /media/games

and now can't remove /media and all folders in it with

Code:

sudo rm -ir /media

because of read-only file system error. How do I reverse first and second sudo commands?

You can’t remove files from an ISO filesystem. You have to copy the files you want, then create a new ISO. See https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...access-574949/.

To remove the games directory, first unmount it:

Code:

sudo umount /media/games

sudo rmdir /media/games
