-rw-r----- 1 root sys 11698176 Jun 29 12:09 IBM Informix Client-SDK.msi


Hi guys i am not able to delete this file even with root permissions..what should i do????

It's the space in the file name that's doing it. Try:

rm -i Inf*

The -i means it will ask you to confirm before you delete, so you don't accidentally delete other files starting with Inf.

Hi,

first, try to ls the file, e.g. by putting the file name in single quotes:
$ ls 'IBM Informix Client-SDK.msi'

When this is established, rm it.
