I'm trying to delete an empty .m4a file from my hard drive.
I'm the owner of the file.

ls -le@d

the file to see if it has an ACL on it preventing removal (it probably does; I see an "@" on the end of the permissions string). If it does, use chmod to remove the ACL, and then you will be able to remove the file.
