If you don't know the user you can type "whoami" to see it and "groups"       to see a list of groups you're in. For example I login as "me" on my computer       so it would be:              sudo chown -R me:me /mystic              You might also want to go into /mystic/data/ and "rm chat*.dat". Afterwards       do a "ls -la chat*.dat" to make sure there are no chat files left.              ... Unzip... expand...
