1. Are you the owner of the files? If so, try renaming the files from ':123
filename.gif' to 'filename.gif', then deleting them in konqueror.
2. If you are not the owner, open a terminal window, su to root, and execute:
'konqueror -profile filemanagement' (no quotes)
IMPORTANT! This opens the KDE filemanager with root access, so be carefull.
You can change the permissions, rename or even delete any file on the system.
While this is a powerfull tool, it can also be very dangerous. Use with
utmost care.
Now that I have warned you of the dangers, this should let you delete the
unwanted files.
