See if you get an error.... IF YOU DO: You'll have to inherit the permissions from the parent folder FROM the sub folder. |

I do have a live version of Fedora I think but I do not know how to use it; which is why it is still on disk and an older version. I would have no idea how to do it from there; thanks though!! |

| | Hello Dorkpixie, If you are unable to delete the file in Safe Mode, then you might see if you may be able to delete the file in a command prompt at boot instead. Hope this helps, Shawn |
