I cannot get this stopped or uninstalled from my 5N #31

I've had the crashplan app installed on my 5N for a few years, despite the unfortunate timing of C42 dropping their home user plans shortly after doing so. For the longest time, I just ignored the app since I'd never set it up, but I really want it gone now. It refuses to stop or uninstall via the Drobo Dashboard app on my iMac and I cannot manually delete any files via the Finder or SSH. I've tried any number of sudo tricks, including attempting to chown everything to my admin user. Alas, I get "permission denied" on the entirety of the /app/upgrade folder every single time. Any ideas?

Sorry for the inconvenience. This is a low-level trick I had to use to prevent Crashplan from nuking itself on a botched upgrade. You need to change the "immutable" attribute of the /app/upgrade folder, using something like this: chattr -i /mnt/DroboFS/Shares/DroboApps/crashplan/app/upgrade After that you'll be able to delete it.
