Not to be terribly nitpicky but the file permissions (at least on the *nixes I've used) don't have any control over wether or not you can delete the file. You need write permissions on the directory the file is in to delete it. i.e. 
% ls -al
total 12
   4 drwxr-xr-x    2 notme     notmygroup         4096 Mar 17 11:12 ./
   4 drwxr-xr-x  101 me   mygroup        4096 Mar 17 11:12 ../
   4 -rw-rw-rw-    1 me   mygroup          42 Mar 17 11:12 foo.foo

% rm foo.foo
rm: cannot remove `foo.foo': Permission denied

% sudo chmod 777 .
% rm foo.foo
