Hi guys
I wish to delete an addon-data folder but I get permission denied…error code 3 and request code 15
Using WinSCP - also tried filezilla to delete but failed
I tried from File manager in osmc but failed also.
The problem folder is .acestream from program.plexus
Setup - R pi 2 with latest updated osmc
Thanks
Two things come to mind here, either permissions or a process has a file in the directory open.
I doubt that it’s permissions, since everything under .kodi should be owned by osmc, but it’s worth checking.
If the file is being held open, you could try ssh in, and do
sudo service mediacenter stop
then remove the file and restart kodi
sudo service mediacenter start
If that doesn’t do it, just shut down the Pi, put the SD card in a PC and remove the directory.
sudo service mediacenter stop… didn’t work
next…will try removing the sd card and delete from pc
thanks…will let you know how it turns out
why dont u ssh into osmc then just sudo rm -r ?
or ssh with user osmc then use su . now u have root access do anything u want
Because it should be
sudo systemctl stop mediacenter
tried this…command not found
still get error code when trying to delete
So you must be typing it wrong. There is no way that that command is not found or your system would not be booting.
sudo systemctl stop mediacenter
Use copy and paste. 
it was the previous user’s [hestiny] post which did not work…
sudo systemctl stop mediacenter works - it did stop kodi but still wasn’t able to delete folder
Exactly what folder are you trying to delete? At least what is it’s base location?
/home/osmc/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/program.plexus
should mention that I have the PI setup with sd card and usb
can’t access usb when I plugged it to my pc
…there’s an ACEstream folder inside program.plexus that does not get deleted
i didnt write the exact code there .
i assume that u can ssh into osmc then type following
sudo rm -rf /home/osmc/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/program.plexus
note that this will delete the whole program.plexus folder
wow…thanks hestiny…that worked exactly like you said 
thanks osmc team for helping
