You need to mount /system as rw. In the terminal enter

Code:
 mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p26 /system
Then remove as before.
Empirical evidence can never establish mathematical existence - nor can the mathematician's demand for existence be dismissed by the physicist as useless rigor. Only a mathematical existence proof can ensure that the mathematical description of a physical phenomenon is meaningful.
