Hi Gavin Well "tibigiurgiu" is right if you just have to remove the db just uninstall the application. But if you want to copy the files from phone to pc den you need to chmod n all. Well the shell provided through adb has a very limited set commands and the commands are also not fully supported. So wat u have to do is to individually change mode of each directory and file. Change the mode and then move to that dir and change the mode for next dir and so on.
