I guess you could use xterm as root and remove them one by one, but that would probably be very tedious. I'm not too good with xterm either so I can't really tell you how you should do it unless you want to remove them one by one.

did you try to delete them as root or just as user?
I just opened up the n900's standard photo's app and saw all the corrupted images
I tried to delete it from there?

you should do it by installing "rootsh", opening xterm, typing "sudo gainroot", change the directory to the one where the images are (corruptly) stored and then delete them by "rm *.jpg" (if these are jpg-images) or just delte the whole folder by doing "rm -r /path/to/folder"
if this doesn't work you may have to remount the partition as rw... but first of all... try to delete as root

then just navigate with "cd $foldername" where foldername is a name of any folder you've seen with the ls command before or go back with "cd .."
just combine these to commands to navigate through your device
ps: you can see the name of the folder you currently are in at the left side of the ":" for example "/home/user". where you can do "cd MyDocs". notice that xterm is case-sensitive. and you can auto-complete words with TAB or just get a list of possible names (folders/files) with TAB TAB ^^

Update:
I took the memory card out of the phone, and then booted up the device.
Lo and behold, when i opened up 'photos' there was no duplicate read-only corrupted files.
I switched off the device and put the memory card back in. When i restarted the phone and opened up 'photos' there was still no duplicate read-only corrupted files
Looks like taking out the memory card and then putting it back in worked a treat
Thanks for all the advice guys

I recently transferred my images from my mmc card to my phone memory.
It took about an hour (over 1200images) but seemed to transfer fine.
I opened up 'Photos' and now i have over 812 corrupted images
When i try to delete the images it says 'unable to delete file' as the files are now saved as read-only!
Any advice on how i can remove the files, other than to flash the phone?
I can't see this files on my file manager either?
Thanks,
