Unable to remove files

If a user has write permission on a directory, but is unable to remove files from that directory, the sticky bit has been set for that directory. The sticky bit is a directory protection setting that allows only the owner of the file (or root) to remove files from that directory. See ``The sticky bit and directories'' for more information.
