The problem is most likely that you have no permissions in the eclipse directory.
You might see what is not writable by typing.
ls -All ~/.eclipse/${YOUR_ECLIPSE_VERSION}/
Solution 1
Start Eclipse as sudo
Running under sudo will ensure eclipse can write the configuration directory.
Eclipse should now be able to uninstall features.
Solution 2
Make relevant Eclipse files writable
chmod -R a+w ~/.eclipse/${YOUR_ECLIPSE_VERSION}/
Eclipse should now be able to uninstall features.
