Hi guys, Thanks for your replies.
Igor, I tried find . -type d | xargs chmod +w
and then rm -Rf the main folder/directory. To no avail, it does not
work :(((
Coming in the middle, so I may be out of context or you might have
tried this already...
But try changing the permissions of the files using windows explorer.
I've had some odds cases where this is the only way to remove files.

and then your 'rm -rf' command again.
