    Question Unable to delete installation folder

    Hi, I have a new issue
    I unsuccessfully tried to install this free php chat http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmychat/

    Being unable to use it, I tried to delete all the files, but they appear again and again
    Moreover, if I try to access and modify the files in the "admin" folder, a get I message of "Hakig attempt" (!!!) as if I tried to hack my own site

    Is there a way to empy my www folder and delete ALL these files? Thank you

    update: uhm, seems I moved the files to trash, I can't see them anymore in my "www" folder, but I'm still unable to delete them permanently when trying to empty trash in my Legacy Files Manager

    Hello!
    Using File Manager, go to /.trash and delete them.

    Using File Manager, go to /.trash and delete them.
    I tried to, but when I refresh the .trash folder content they appear again -.-'
    I also tried to delete every single file one by one, but it makes no difference.
    Sooo frustrating

    Hello again!
    Set the user permissions of those files/folders to Read and Write using "Change Permissions"and then delete them.

    It does not let me do this, I get this kind of messages:





    Seems like they are protected and I have not the privileges to access them, I wonder how is it possible
