Windows 10: I am trying to delete files on my computer, and it says I need permission.

Some files I am able to delete but some will say I need permission from the "system" or the "admin" my user account is setup as an admin. I do not have any other accounts on my pc so curious why it says I need permission from another user.

Trying to delete a folder but says need permission

Hi Barry,

We need to determine why you are getting the error message "you require permission from VOSTRO470/barry to make changes to this file" when trying to delete a folder. With that said, we would be gathering additional information to have a better view on this
concern. Kindly answer the following questions:

• Did you make any changes on the computer before you encountered this issue?
• Aside from editing the permission via Command Prompt, what other troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
• Have you tried deleting other folders? If so, did you experience the same issue?
  
• Can you send us a screenshot of the error message you are getting?
  Note: Please do not include any personal information.
• Is this the first time that you encountered this issue?

In the meantime, we suggest that you follow the instructions provided by
Deepak_Krishnan R found on this
thread.

Once completed, kindly provide us with the result for further assistance.

 

Trying to delete a folder but says need permission

Following Deepaks thread, I found that there was a "Deny Everybody" or similar, which when removed allowed file deletion.

Problem solved, thank you.
