I have file(.doc) that downloaded from internet...at that time it was opened in open office without problem. then my computer didnt shut down properly.
now that file doent open in any software and not delete(as a root or other user).
I have open its property
in permission tab

Code:

 "The permissions of "FILE NAME.doc" could not be determined"

I want to delete this file plz help

Use this: *ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/

unlocker is for windows
and i think he needs help on ubuntu.

what ever the file is

u can delete it as root.but before try to restore ur file.doc to be read by writer.do as following..open the location where the file exists and right click to "open a terminal here".then do as follows:

Code:

~$sudo chmod 777   filename.doc

now after this,try to open the file with oowriter.

Do it as follows if u want to delete ur file.open up a terminal
and do as follows.open the location where the file exists and right click to "open a terminal here".

Code:

~$sudo rm    -r      filename.doc

^ when prompted,give ur user password and press enter.check again fo file to be there.
U must have the permissions wrong.
