anto_mac Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Trying to delete files in feora 7 , everytime I delete they keep reappearing. I have done a ls -l on the files they appear as ??????? ? ? ? ? ? lockvcsd . Have try rm -f to force delete them doesnt work try moving them and chmod them no good. Have also trying going into the folder using file browser to delete them but the disappear the moment I click on them and reappear when I go back into the folder. Any help would really be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maq Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Have you tried to sudo the rm? If that doesn't work then try, "/bin/rm -rf [file_names]". Where/what are these files from? Maybe there is an application that's regenerating them. You may also want to check to rootkits. I dont' think this is the problem, but you never know and it can't hurt - http://www.chkrootkit.org/download/. Other than that, I'm not sure, good luck.

anto_mac Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 Have tried sudo the rm and trying deleting them as root user as well no good. The files are temporary lock files for a software license tool , cant use tool now because lock arent been deleted , should be deleted once license has been close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviewdr Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 They're probably loaded in memory, and after you delete them, they could be returned and rewritten to the disk. I could be wrong however. You could look at lsof which lists open files. What filesystem are you using? ext3? -steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
