Problems using the rm command

rm filename: No such file or directory

The file or directory you are trying to copy does not exist.

usage: rm [-rif] file ...

You have used a non-existent option or you have failed to give a filename or directory_name.

rm: remove `dirname/filename', overriding mode 0444?

The file has no write permission, which rm takes as an indication that something may be wrong. You can still delete the file, provided you have write permission on the directory dirname. Just answer 'y' to the question. If there are too many files affected, use the '-f' option with rm.

rm: override protection 600 for filename? y
rm: filename not removed: Permission denied

You don't have permission to remove this file or directory. Most likely you're trying to erase a system file or another user's file.
