How would I go about deleting them anyway?

Call std.file.setAttributes() first, which has apparently been added 
just three days ago: :)

If you can't work with git head version of dmd, then do what it does 
yourself, depending on your platform:

void setAttributes(in char[] name, uint attributes)
{
     version (Windows)
     {
         cenforce(SetFileAttributesW(std.utf.toUTF16z(name), 
attributes), name);
     }
     else version (Posix)
     {
         assert(attributes <= mode_t.max);
         cenforce(!chmod(toStringz(name), cast(mode_t)attributes), name);
     }
}

For example, if you are on Linux:

import core.sys.posix.sys.stat;
import std.conv;

// ...

     chmod("/my/file", cast(mode_t)octal!777)
