Regain ownership of files with mashed perms

[toolkit]

This is fairly self explanatory, any ideas on regaining ownership of these bent files so I can delete them? I am root already and have managed to remove some others but these 3 are proving awkward.

whats the error when you try to delete

rm -rf name_of_your_file

have you also tried changing the permissions

chmod 777 name_of_file

I tried all the usual suspects like you describe but I got errors along the lines of "Cannot chmod/chown file with weird permissions"!

In the end there were a lot of files mashed, and the machine was starting to exhibit strange behaviour so we've decided to swap it out.
