Hello everyone.
I was wondering if there's any possible way to give read&write permission in a spesific directory without delete permission.
Let's Say i have a directory named "stored" in home directory and i've set up a program so as to save snapped images automatically in that folder by the user who snaps the image and i only want root to delete any of these images regardless of whoever created it. Is this possible?If so how?
Thanks in advance.

Set the append-only attribute on the directory.

$ sudo chattr +a ~/stored

See chattr(1) and lsattr(1) for details.
