Question [Q] try to force delete of system MP3s

I try to delete some ringtones from my folder
system/media/audio/ringtones

I connect via local console (IRSSbot) and I cant "rm" remove mp3s due to permissions.
I am logged in as superuser with "su" still getting
"Read-only file system".

How can I make the file system writeable?

Try using Root Explorer, navigate to the directory, mount as r/w (button at top), delete, then hit the r/o button. There's a much longer command-line version, but if you don't figure it out from the above, this is easier and fool-proof.

Just being su doesn't override a read-only filesystem.
