When i type in the commands, this is the outcome. It's pointing to some list. But where is this list existing ? I mean, which part of my system ? (retrofed.com)

Files have a concept of ownership and have permissions on them. Some permissions can stop you from deleting them. If you own the file you can add a "-f" option to the rm to force it to delete. You can also change the permissions and ownership on files.
