I'm out of ideas for now. I have never had nothing to do with SELinux but you 
say that's disabled anyhow.

It's a long shot but did you run a file system check? I don't however think 
this is the problem because you managed to delete the directory as root 
didn't you?

One other thought. Occasionally I cannot umount my USB flash drive. For some 
reason the File Alteration Monitor daemon (famd) fails to release its "grasp" 
and prevents umount form working.

Also you might like to try:

$ sudo lsof

to list all the open files and which process has them open. You might find 
that some unexpected process is stopping you from deleting the files.

Otherwise I don't know. I could blame the Apache daemon but you tried stopping 
that and it made no difference.

Regards,

Paul.
