Trying to delete recup.dir folders

Using PhotoRec and ended up with 18 recup_dir folders in my root folder (PCLinuxOS) and I cannot delete them.

I have seen a similar thread (2014) and I have changed ownership to root but still cannot find a way to delete them.

Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Thanks :?

Don't change the owner ship to root but to the user you are using ;-)
Otherwise as root, you can run

Code: Select all

rm -rf recup_dir.*
Be extra careful when you type this command
