Deleting quota.user and quota.group

Hi All!

We are not using quotas on the system here. There are huge amounts of
diskpace being consumed by trhe quota.user and quota.group files, e.g.

-rw-r--r-- 1 root operator 2097152 Aug 23 1996 /data/quota.group
-rw-r--r-- 1 root operator 395067392 Jun 18 1997 /data/quota.user
-rw-r----- 1 root daemon 8192 Apr 17 1996 /tmp/quota.group
-rw-r----- 1 root daemon 2097152 Jul 7 1997 /tmp/quota.user

I'd like to delete them, but when I su to root, and try rm, I get, for
example:

rm: /data/quota.group: Permission denied
rm: /data/quota.user: Permission denied

Now, both /data and /tmp are advfs filesystems mapped to the same
partition, here is what df -k shows:

adv1#data 1955672 1173087 730624 62% /data
adv1#tmp 1955672 179 730624 0% /tmp

Is this why an rm won't work?

How can I remove these files and reclaim the disk space?

I will summarize for the group.

Thanks and regards,

Sam
