Can you move them? An easy trick is to move them to a good directory, then recursively delete the directory. mc makes this easy to do.
I'd tried that already, I'm afraid - they mv OK but the files (actually, three sets of files in three directories) won't delete with an rm -r from higher up the tree. I should also mention (realised that I'd missed it out) that I cannot chown or chmod the files, either. More permission denied (to root!).
