[SOLVED] Cannot delete directory

[koo]

Hello! I've used kubuntu for a while, and I love it.
I have a little problem: there is a directory I want to delete, but rm says
"rm: cannot remove directory `./aq/sas/po/dds/sd/w/c/ab/a': File exists". Dolphin reports no errors, but can't remove it either.
I think the problem is the too long path. If that helps, it is a NTFS partition (yes, I'm using ntfs-3g).
Thanks for your help

Thanks for your reply.
I have all the rights on that directory, and I've also tried with sudo. However, the problems remains. :-(

Re: Cannot delete directory

It could be this (NTFS +rm): Cannot remove, file exists problem >> Why do I get a "File exists" message when deleting an empty directory?

If the locale environment is not setup correctly before mount then glibc can't convert some filenames, so they are not visible and the directory is indeed not empty. Solution:...
