If you're unable to remove files as root, you usually need to do one of these: - - fsck the filesystem, fix any corruption. - - lsattr the files you're unable to remove and see if the (i)mmutable attribute is set. If it is you can remove it with chattr. Can't say any more until you provide the precise error you get when trying to remove the files. BTW, if lsattr shows immutable files, you may have a rootkit -- rootkits are notorious for setting +i on files. Run rkhunter, reinstall if you find a rootkit.
