Re: [Trisquel-users] rmdir unable to remove directory than is 0wned by me and has me as group

It depends on the parent directory, in this case it is /usr/share . If this  
parent directory does not give you write permission, you won't be able to  
remove/edit/create files within this directory.
When you want to write outside of the /home/$USER/ directory with one of the  
Desktop users it is a better idea to get a directory that is owned by you  
first, let's say /user/share/test and then write within that directory. You  
shouldn't be really creating files that are owned by anyone other than root  
in these places (unless it has a specific purpose, like file sharing).

To understand this better you really have to read about linux permissions. It  
is also not a good idea to fiddle with the permissions on files owned by root  
unless you know what you are doing or it's just a testing environment.
