Trying to remove git repo on ubuntu guest

Question

I am trying to remove whole git repository from my local machine, but git prohibits to delete several files.

I\'ve tried:

1. rm -r folder

Answer 1

The following command may help:

chmod -R u+w folder/

Also make sure you own all the files which you're trying to remove:

chown -R $USER folder/

On Linux it may be also a file attribute (check by lsattr):

chattr -R -AacdDijsStu folder/
