I installed a plugin (Site Export) which messed up my wiki (blank pages displayed) so decided to delete the wiki on the Apache server I'm hosted on (after downloading a backup) and start again. But a couple of folders (/lib and /data) are refusing to be deleted - "permission denied" - and they won't let me change the file permissions through FTP despite me being the admin of my wiki. Googling brings up no solutions, so what can I do now?
Edit: I emailed the server admin and he was able to delete it, so that issue is fixed - but if I want to install DW again, is there any way of deleting these files so I don't have to bother him about it?
Edit again: I found this page -
https://www.dokuwiki.org/tips:fixperms.php - is this a solution to the permission denied issue?
