Files won't delete

[Bertminator]

I can upload files to my ftp no problem, but when I delete them they are still visible & on my website, although the filesize is zero Kilobytes. I went to my site and the files are still there & accessible. What am I missing? Why won't they delete?

[Bertminator]

Doesn't anyone know the answer to my question?

I have the opposite problem. I loaded my site up and it worked perfectly. Then I made some changes and reloaded it and now can't see anything bar the index file yet they are all there!

I have the same exact problem as Bertminator: i cannot delete files from the uploaded list on the site. It goes through the motions of deleting the files, but then they all just re-appear.
Advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am wondering if it has to do with the permissions. The permissions are listed to the right of each folder and all seem to be drwxr-xr-x.

I have not a clue as to how to change the permissions, but nothing with the above combo of characters will delete.

Do this help solve my problem?

[jerry@service-inc]

That is probably going to help in the future (we'll see) but what about the folders that are already there? The permissions still all have the same codes next to them and will not delete. All the contents seemed to delete, though, just the folders remain.

[jerry@service-inc]

how do I change the permissions? where do I go to do that?

i really appreciate the help and apologize for so many repetitive questions.

To change file permissions:

First, Select the file or directory with the mouse, then right click on it. Next, select "Properties". Here you will find permissions by using either checkboxes or a number value.

[jerry@service-inc]

It seems as if the permissions that begin with "d" are never going to allow themselves to be deleted. Such as: drwxr-xr-x. There is nothing to click or unclick that eliminates the "d".
I am also not sure how the "d" got there in the first place.
Again, thanks for the help and feedback.
