sudo chown -R $USER: $HOME
This will change the permissions or directly delete the folder??

Open terminal and type
gksudo nautilus
Browse to the location of documents. Goto properties and set the permission for owner as well as group as read and write. Now try to delete the folder from another nautilus window (one without root privileges).
Don't forget to close that super user nautilus as soon as you don't need it any more!

Never suggestsudo nautilus
-gksudo nautilus
is the recommended command - if really needed at all.

This would happen probably because you downloaded something from the web. And you don't have the write access to the folders. If you are sure that the files are virus free, try the following command.
chmod -R +rw *
This will remove the lock icon from the nautilus.

I had this problem as I had set everything to chmod 755
to get back into my system after messing with /var
permissions.
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~
solved it for me, eventually. I had to delete some files I'd downloaded first.
add a comment |
Change the file permissions of lock file via CHMOD command:
user@pc:~$ sudo chmod 754 /var/lib/lock *
Note: 754 is access permission and path to the directory of lock file present if 754 doesn't, do try 777. Once done you can delete the file.

You should have a look at this answer on Super User. Adding on to this answer, you can also create a bash function like this:
# bash function for changing locked status of folders, pass folder name as command line argument
unlock() {
chflags -R nouchg $1
}
You can put this function in your .bashrc (Linux) or .bash_profile (Mac) file and run source ~/.bashrc
or source ~/.bash_profile
to rebuild the bash file.

This would happen probably because you downloaded something from the web. And you don't have the write access to the folders. If you are sure that the files are virus free, try the following command.
chmod -R +rw *
This will remove the lock icon from the nautilus.

Change the file permissions of lock file via CHMOD command:
user@pc:~$ sudo chmod 754 /var/lib/lock *
Note: 754 is access permission and path to the directory of lock file present if 754 doesn't, do try 777. Once done you can delete the file.

You should have a look at this answer on Super User. Adding on to this answer, you can also create a bash function like this:
# bash function for changing locked status of folders, pass folder name as command line argument
unlock() {
chflags -R nouchg $1
}
You can put this function in your .bashrc (Linux) or .bash_profile (Mac) file and run source ~/.bashrc
or source ~/.bash_profile
to rebuild the bash file.

Please take a screenshot from Permissions and post it (or upload it and put the link to it) here. To see permissions, right click on a folder or file and select Properties.
