H-

forgive my ignorance, but I'm not understanding whats going wrong here
...
essentially a large file that I own I can't delete...
why do I not have permission to delete this file???

[rcj@Merak2 Archive]$ rm rcj.iso
rm: cannot remove `rcj.iso': Permission denied
[rcj@Merak2 Archive]$ chmod 777 rcj.iso
[rcj@Merak2 Archive]$ rm rcj.iso
rm: cannot remove `rcj.iso': Permission denied
[rcj@Merak2 Archive]$ ls -l
