How remove errant directory

[onespeedbiker]

Well I did something stupid and now I can't undo it. I needed to put a file in a File System directory so a program could locate it. Instead of using /tmp I used /cdrom. The files were DVD file structure files Audio_TS and Video_TS. Turns out I can't modify files in this directory and I can't delete them. I tried:
sudo rmdir -r /cdrom/VIDEO_TS

and got rmdir: failed to remove `/cdrom/VIDEO_TS': Read-only file system

how do I do this?

Could you try:mountTo see what's mounted and where, and if there's something mounted over those files try remounting it, see if that works:
sudo mount -o remount,rw /dev/DEVICE

wouldn't a

sudo rm -rf /cdrom/VIDEO_TS

work better? It sounds like it's copied to that folder, not mounted from the dvd.
