DELETED_5350

The name of the directory is
martin sound
just like that, capitalization, spaces, and all, right?

If so, I'll give you the command to run. :)

EDIT: Alternatively, you could run gksudo nautilus then navigate to the directory, right click it, select Properties, and change the permissions.

I just tested this so it does indeed work
sudo chown -R bti Sound
Are you sure that your username is Martin and not martin? Capitals are uncommon in Unixy user names. The -R makes it recursive so the command effects that directory and all others beneath it.

The icon won't update until you click it or log out and log in again.

EDIT: It might sound silly, but are you sure you're in the right directory? If you weren't it would obviously tell you that it can't find the directory. Perhaps you should specify the whole path just to be sure. Something like
/home/martin/Music/Sound
or whatever it is in your case.
 
are you running it from the correct directory (i.e. the parent directory of the Sound folder?)

Try specifying the full path, just to make sure.. so e.g.

chown -R Martin /full/path/to/Sound
 
now do:
Code: 
sudo chmod -R u+wr /home/martin/Desktop/Sound
this should give you read and write permissions on that directory and it's contents.
 
you did run 'chown -R Martin /full/path/to/Sound' with 'sudo' at the beginning didn't you?

If so, Dj_Jestar's command should sort any remaining permission problems.

Pro tip: If you try to run
sudo rm -r ~/.Trash/*
it won't do anything since ~/ to root is root's home directory and root's trash can. Root probably doesn't have any trash.
