Hi:

It's the *directory* that confers the permission for file access. If the directory lacks write permissions, you won't be able to delete the files.

Too, if the directory's sticky bit is set, then only the owner of a file within can delete the file.

Hi James,

Thank you so much.I am able to delete the files after I give the write permission to the directory.
