Linux：如何删除锁定的文件

Question

I want to remove xyz_DB.lock.db file . I tried as root but couldn't delete it. How to remove it in terminal. My initial requirement was remove a folder. but it includes this locked file. And is there anyway to delete folder directly which include a locked file ?

Answer 1

Check with lsattr command if the immutable bit is set for the file, it will show (i)

# lsattr file
----i--------e- file

If so, change it using following command:

# chattr -i file

And then try to remove it.

Answer 2

尝试通过GUI更改文件许可权，或在包含该许可权的目录上使用rm -rf。

Answer 3

try "chown" to provide permission to your file/folder and then delete it,

eg: assume username= amol and filename=myfile.txt,,

For File:--- sudo chown amol:amol myfile.txt

For Folder:-- sudo chown -R amol:amol directory_name
