Unable to delete file from read-only file system

  • 772

I cannot delete files, when I tried to delete the file, this message appeard:

"Error while deleting. There was an error deleting file2.rar."

This is what I get from clicking on SHOW MORE DETAILS:

"Error removing file: Read-only file system"

This is what I've tried so far:

  • deleting from the downloads directory from my user.
  • deleting permanently, but it does not work.

EDIT

When trying to remount it as read/write I get this error:

 ~$ sudo mount -o remount,rw /media/A88F-8788  
 [sudo] password for name:  
 sudo: unable to open /var/lib/sudo/jianyue/1: Read-only file system  
 mount: can't find /media/A88F-8788 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

EDIT AGAIN

I heard it is one of the bugs, waiting to be fixed.

Just another edit on 2014

No information about the resolution of the bug. I've not tried it again since then, because I have re-installed the system and misplaced files.
