I am confused. Does it actually let you create the directory in the first place? Remember that when you create the directory the permissions you set on that directory are only rlelevant to subdirectories and files of that directory.

When creating and removing directories and files, you are actually modifying the parent directory and therefore need write permissions on that. If it is letting you create the directory but not delete it it, this is what to check:



Check the directory is empty. You cannot delete non empty directories.
Make sure the parent directory has write permissions.
Check the parent directory does not have the s bits set on the user and group. This will cause any new files or directories created to assume the identity (i.e.: the user / group) of its parent. A directory with the following permissions will allow the creation of a directory by anyone but not the deletion:



rwsrwsrwT = 7777



The 'T' indicates a sticky, which allows only the owner of the item being modified in the directory to modify it.

Finally i found the sollution->chmod function for every new directory.
