hello. you probably are looking at a device file in the dev directory.
correct me if i'm wrong, but the c, b and S you're talking about is at the
start(the first letter) of
the permission bit strings right?

anyway, c is for character device(like lines and terminals), b is for a block
device(like disks),
and S is if the setuid or setgid bit is set but the corresponding executable bit is
not set(straight out
of 'info ls').

i'm not very sure if you're supposed to delete these files anyway.

vince..
