As a result of a disk clobber, I ended up with some files with weird permissions, dates, and sizes (but correct names). A typical permission set, according to ls, was: ?--------- and the dates had years such as 1926 and 2010. As root, I couldn't do anything to these files; rm, chmod, and mv all gave the message ``Operation not permitted''. How can I make those files go away?
