Firstly, why are u using root explorer when you're not rooted? It may not work.

ok, seems theres a big communication problem here.. i'll restate wat i said but in all caps.. i think that will help some ppl here..

I'M UNABLE TO DELETE FILES IN ROOT EXPLORER OR ANY OTHER FILE MANAGEMENT APP EVEN THOUGH I WAS ABLE TO BEFORE BEING UNROOTED.

if u need me to explain myself again, dont hesitate to ask.

Learn a lesson here. Don't use apps that require root when u don't have root. May possibly mess your phone up. Possibly Root Browser messed your phone up.

Woah dude, No need for caps, we're just extremely surprised as to why the @#%& do u use root browser when u don't @#%&ing have root?

You able to delete file use root explorer cause your file in r/w directory but if you delete file in r/o directory impossible you can do it without su permission...

R/w directory is /system
R/o directory like: data, mnt, sdcard and more....

Any people in here try to help you so dont angry if we dont understand what you mind...

Sorry my english so bad

i see that apparently u have an impossible time understanding my original and 2nd posts. at this point i suspect u got a language barrier, esp that i see ur from singapore from ur signature.

its best that u cease from commenting on my thread any further and focus on wat matters most, which is ur english. i do appreciate that u tried to help. but its best that u leave this up to those who can understand wat i'm saying. thanks anyway.

We all know what you mean. We are all telling you to root your phone when using Rooted stuff, Even the experts would give the same advice, we could not just saying Hocus Pocus Let him phone work, No that doesn't exist.

We all don't know, how this is possible, No one has Used Root browser before without Rooted phone.

ok theres no doubt in my mind that ur a foreigner. i'll repeat myself again so u can understand. but this time i'll substitute 'root explorer' with 'file manager'...

MY FILE MANAGER DOES NOT LET ME DELETE FILES. WAT DO U SUGGEST I DO.

i cant use sign language next time to communicate with u if u dont understand. lets hope u get it this time.

Let me repeat myself. Your root browser might have messed your phone up TRYING to obtain root. I have No doubt u are a foreigner. (I passed my English exams in Singapore, thanks for your concern)

So, try factory resetting your phone and use a file browser that doesn't have the ability to view system files, with or without root.

Have you tried using another file app? Why does it have to be root explorer? Look in the play store for alternatives like es explorer, astro or file manager. Maybe that will help.

Ok... This is going out of hand... Original poster try deleting files using X-plore...might just work....

I've seen enough, thread cleaned and closed. Staying respectful is mandatory and expected from all of you, regardless of "language barriers" - especially when someone is trying to help you in good faith.
