Unable to Remove Static Folder from Web2Py Install

Deleted my web2py app and attempted to remove the files. All files and directories removed except for the images folder and files in the web2py static folder. Permission denied.

https://www.pythonanywhere.com/user/ClarifyPool/files/home/ClarifyPool/web2py/applications/ClarifyPool/static/images

It looks like whatever created that directory gave it some really weird permissions. If you just want to delete them, do

chmod -R +w /home/ClarifyPool/web2py/

in a bash console. Then you should be able to delete them.

Thanks. That did it. And I thought I knew my way around a bash shell. :-)
