The "-a" (append-only) attribute will also pin the files against deletion. Failing that, "debugfs" lets you forcibly delete files: "clri <filename>" will clear the inode by force, and a subsequent e2fsck will fix up the fs summary information to be consistent with the destroyed file (including deleting the directory entry pointing to the nuked inode).
