Is it just me or does imagecache change settings to force the folder to be stuck at 755 or similar limited permissions, and not even a person can the server-level using the Unix hash can change it? What the heck? I tried removing a directory that had an old drupal install and it won't because the imagecach folder. It says "permission denied." Excuse me? Something about that is upside down! LOL. Anyway, what can I do to remedy this?

I'm having this same issue. My permissions are stuck at 664 and I can't do squat to change it. Anyone have thoughts on this?

You're going to have to remove it as the user the webserver runs as... I thought the permissions were 775 on the folders, but I could be wrong. You can probably write a short and sweet php script to remove the files....

Maybe an Uninstall hook is the best solution here?

ok so 1.4 will have some perm fixes in it to set everything 775... managing groups and sticky bits is on you and your systems administrator!
