I don't know how this folder got created in the first place, except that it is the name of a .deb file that I tried to get into Xubuntu 17.10 running in Virtualbox. I failed, but solved the problem using a completely different solution. I failed because I could not get VB to allow the 17.10 guest to see folders on anything but the host boot drive. The only thing that 17.10 in VB could see was the optical drive, so I burned the file to a DVD and used that to get the file into 17.10.
Afterwards, with the optical drive empty, there is a folder remaining in /media/jjj with the same name as the .deb file. I don't even know how it got there, but there it is, and because it was from optical media the host OS (14.04) decided the make it read-only. I tried rm, rmdir, then chown, and finally chmod 777, with and without sudo. Chmod 777 -R <foldername> says it is changing permissions, but it lies. When I look at it with ls -la the permissions are unchanged. After the command chmod says "chmod: changing permissions of ‘<foldername>’: Read-only file system. In other words, since the folder is read-only it can't write changes to it. Well, duh. There has to be some way to get rid of this thing.
