I have a Windows 7 machine and do a lot of stuff with Cygwin. I had a folder containing music that wouldn't let me update a file, so I tried to fix the read only file protection that was showing and managed to do "chmod -r" (with some other stuff) which changed the files so that I can't read them.
In Cygwin "ls -l" shows the top folder with file protections: drws-ws--t+
What I want is drwxrwxrwx+
In any case I've tried fixing it in Windows and tried fixing it in Cygwin and all I get for any of them is "permission denied". In fact, if I try to show the folder properties in Windows then try changing anything, I get a pop up properties window that I can't even get rid of.
Any ideas how to delete this folder and everything in it?
