As Barry noted, your logs show the command prompt path is "/root" which
means you're probably running as root. Several years ago, we found are
several ill-behaved utilities (in Moses and IRSTLM) that relied on
access privileges to prevent deleting system files. Running as root
bypassed this safety mechanism. Some were fixed, but others could remain.

Running Linux as root is generally a sign that the user is trying to
make Linux more "Windows-like." You said, "i have only this user in the
system." If you're referring to the "root" user, I don't know of any
Linux distro that defaults to only one user with root privileges, but if
this is true, I suggest you also change to a different Linux distro.

Learning how to properly work on a Linux system is your best safety
mechanism. Per Hieu, rebuilding your OS from scratch is the only way to
make sure you have everything you need.
