I can't remove the xeoma directory because it has 2 other directories in
it which I also can't remove by doing rm -r directory, even after
changing owner and permissions. Group doesn't change

Doing sudo chgrp pi . didn't do anything, nor did sudo chgrp go-w xeoma

There must be some way to delete/remove the said directories. I've only
used linux/ubuntu for about 2 years, but didn't have this problem with
permissions and removing directies.
