Access denied


hello everyone,

I'm using slackware 12. A strange thing is happening since a few days now. i usually login as a normal user and not as a root. I'm not able to delete directories within my home folder. It shows "Access denied to /home/warun/example/etc.c". What's the problem? And what could be the solution?

Thanks in advance....

Could it be that the directories are not empty?

Code:
$ su -c "rm -rf /home/warun/example/etc.c"
Be careful with that. (Seriously -- be careful with that)
