Cannot delete a folder

[thecaretaker]

I've got a folder which I uploaded using ftp to the hdd/movie folder which had some movies in it. I watched the movies and then deleted them. But although I can delete files, I can't delete the folder they were in.

I've tried moving it to .trash and pressing red. I pick 'yes' but it is still there.
I've tried deleting it using ftp but it says make sure file exists.
I've changed the chmod to 777 but still no joy.
I can rename it, move it in both, I can do everything apart from delete it.
The ownership is '0' which is the same as all other folders.
I've done a filecheck.

Any ideas?

Is there a telnet command or something I can try with?

What am I missing here?

Hi,
look if you FTP program has an option to show hidden files. Hidden files start with a "." and when there are still hidden files you cannot delete directories.

Have you tried telnet?
rm -rf hdd/movie/YOUR_FOLDER

Thanks Trial. It had a hidden file in it (.e2settings.pkl). Once I deleted that, I was able to delete the folder. You are a star!:tea:
