shadyDW Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 Can anyone here please tell me why am I unable to delete unwanted files from my public_html folder? Quote
TCH-Rob Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 Can you be a bit more specific? What kind of files are they? What are the permissions? How were those files put there? Quote
LisaJill Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 I've occasionally had problems like this with script produced files that erroneously got set to owner / group of nobody. The only way to rectify it is to submit a ticket. =) Quote
shadyDW Posted September 29, 2004 Author Posted September 29, 2004 These were actually files that I uploaded ex. buying_item#SK01.htm. Quote
TCH-Rob Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 Did you upload them with an FTP client or something else? It is most likely like what Lisa is referring to and you might need to open a ticket and hive them a list of what needs to be deleted. Quote
shadyDW Posted September 29, 2004 Author Posted September 29, 2004 I did upload with FTP client. I will consider submitting a ticket. Thank you... Quote
TCH-Don Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 If you uploaded them, you should be able to delete them. Are you getting any error messages when you select delete? Quote
DarqFlare Posted September 30, 2004 Posted September 30, 2004 Could be the filename causing problems... Probably not. Quote
boxturt Posted September 30, 2004 Posted September 30, 2004 This has happened to me a couple times, different sites, different server. It was always when I had more than one instance of the same file happenning. As in "fileX.html" deleted once and reuploaded. For some unknown reason it choked, even after emptying the trash. I did open a ticket and it was resolved real fast. Quote
