Windows 10: How can I delete file that does not recognize that I am signed in as Administrator?

I have an HP Envy 360 with a One Drive file that is stating that I must be "signed in as administrator" to delete. I AM signed in and the ONLY user of this laptop. Why would this one file not recognize that? How can I get rid of this file and it's contents?

Why not recognized as an Administrator for file deletion?

My Windows 10 Pro v1909 (18363.657) PC created a memory dump file as the result of a BSoD. After rebooting, File Explorer showed a blank for its owner. I TAKEOWNed the file so my personal account was the owner and also ICACLS /reset its access list. Its only attribute was/is the one for "A"rchiving.

My personal account, which I was using, is an administrator. Its UAC setting is "Never notify."

Can anyone tell me why Windows 10 asks me to supply administrator permission to delete this file? That is, what did I miss in trying to convert this file to be just like any other personal file I might create? (I am unaware of any differences.) Is there some group policy I need to change so that Windows will actually recognize that I match being an "Administrator" for the purpose of deleting the file?

The access list for the file when I try to delete it is:
Authenticated Users (Modify, Read & Execute, Read, Write)
SYSTEM (Full control and all the rest except Special permissions)
Administrators (MyPCName\Administrators) (Full control and all the rest except Special permissions)
Users (MyPCName\Users) (Read & Execute, Read)

My account has all of the effective access attributes (File properties -> Security tab -> Advanced -> Effective Access tab).

 

Why not recognized as an Administrator for file deletion?

This snapshot of the root directory and the subdirectories involved should make my situation more clear. My login owns everything. The security access list is the same for C:\, C:\TEMP, C:\TEMP\Debug Info, and the file itself. Administrators have Full Control for all of them. It can't be a bug in Windows, so I am trying to find out what I don't know: what invisible thing about the file is File Explorer seeing that makes it demand confirmation of Administrative permission? It looks the same to me as any other boring file. I changed the extension to .txt and it still asks for Administrative permission. I don't get this prompt when I delete any average file.
