Root user can't delete files/directories

I have a number of students directories that are all owned by the same
user "1000" I tried to chown these directories to their rightful owners,
but get an error, "too many users". I tried to delete a directory so I
could re-create it, but get the error "permission denied". I really am
logged in as root.

Any ideas?
