Hi All,
I'm new to linux and using RHEL 8. I am logged into an account which was an admin in order to use as a single use credential for deployment then changed to standard account. This account has ownership over the mounted disk being used. I have files flagged as immutable which I cant delete using rm terminal command. Can confirm the file has the lower case "i" attribute. If i try rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty, the command executes without error but the directory remains with files intact, however I seem to be able to delete the parent directory of the immutable file by trashing it in the GUI and then emptying the trash. How is this possible if the file is meant to be immutable?
