What, if you start a live system from USB or CDROM, then mount the partition
and delete it?
First question.: Will these be recreated? Then I would guess, you are starting
some apps as root using "su -" , or "sudo".
Second question: If you can not delete it as root, are there some ACL (Access
Control List) set?
And third: You may check the rights, maybe there is the "immutable" bit set
for.
Just some ideas, hope it will help though....
