Some time ago most of my files changed their attributes to extent. Not sure how or when did it happened, but when I list all files attrs in example folders it looks like this:
user@user:~/Downloads$ lsattr *
--------------e------- balenaEtcher-1.7.9-x64.AppImage
--------------e------- balena-etcher-electron-1.7.9-linux-x64.zip
--------------e------- control.tar.xz
--------------e------- data.tar.xz
--------------e------- debian-binary
--------------e------- DisplayLink USB Graphics Software for Ubuntu5.6-EXE/displaylink-driver-5.6.0-59.176.run
--------------e------- DisplayLink USB Graphics Software for Ubuntu5.6-EXE/DisplayLink USB Graphics Software for Ubuntu 5.6.0-59.176-Release Notes.txt
--------------e------- DisplayLink USB Graphics Software for Ubuntu5.6-EXE.zip
--------------e------- ubuntu-22.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso
I've read somewhere that it can be connected to partition of the disk, but I am not sure how to check it. I am pretty new ubuntu user.
It causes a lot of problems since I can't modify, copy or delete any of the files.
Any ideas how to fix the issue?
EDIT:
I first observed it, when I tried to copy some files via ssh. I've created some test file test.txt and tried to move it to root@192.168.0.10
user@user:~/Documents$ lsattr test.txt
--------------e------- test.txt
user@user:~/Documents$ scp test.txt root@192.168.0.10:/
root@192.168.0.10's password:
scp: /test.txt: Permission denied
user@user:~/Documents$

Another weird thing is, I can't remove some of directories. For example when trying to remove "old" dir:
user@user:~/Documents/old$ ls
output-analyzer test_dir
user@user:~/Documents/old$ rm -r test_dir/
rm: cannot remove 'test_dir/': Operation not permitted
Output of findmnt command:
user@user:~$ findmnt
