How to delete folder of owner/group 99 99

Hello,

I am using wordpress with wp-super-cache plugin. This plugin automatically created a cache folder in my site for storing the cached files.

But unusually it created folder with owner/group 99 99. It was created automatically.

Due to this, i am not able to delete that folder or change the CHMOD of that folder. This really a headache. I searched google, but none gave me a good answer.

Please help me delete or change the CHMOD of that folder ?

I am on Linux server.

• Root should be able to delete it not matter what. If you want to be able to delete it as another user, you can chown it to whatever user and group you would like.

  Aakash Chakravarthy : I am the admin of my site and i have access to delete other files and folder.

  MarkM : @Aakash - Ok, so log in via ssh, su to root and delete it.

  Aakash Chakravarthy : Sorry, my site is not featured with SSH !

  MarkM : @Aakash - So, if you can't SSH into your server how do you administer it?

  Aakash Chakravarthy : #MarkM usually, i use cpanel to change/view some site settings and Filezilla to transfer the files i from desktop to server.

  MarkM : @Aakash - then call your host and have them do it.

• Do you have SFTP access? Unlikely if you don't have SSH as the port is probably closed, but possible if it's just a shell restriction. Try logging on port 22 using SFTP as root and you should be able to delete it.

• As MarkM said..root can do the job.

  If you are admin of your website/domain on a linux server but you can only admin it via cPanel or FTP I can imagine that your site is hosted on a shared server and not on a dedicated server.

  If it is true... I think you have to open a ticket for assistanse at your provider requesting the chmod or deletion of that files/directory.
