Using
chmod -aallows one to remove access control entries individually (as @geekosaur suggested).But if you are looking to remove all ACLs from a file or folder, the solution is to use the brute-force option:
chmod -Nwhich removes all access control entries for a file or folder.chmod -RNwill do the same recursively for a folder and its entire contents.
