  1. I cannot delete anything!!! No delete option on right click, no delete key, no ctrl-d


    Okay, I know I have been gone from Microsoft for a very long time. In fact the only reason I'm back is due to gaming. However I am back and why cannot I delete any files in Windows 11. Yes I am logged in as administrator although that is also another issue, because I cannot save certain files because it says I need Administrator Access, yet my profile says administrator. Anyway In File explorer when I click the delete key, nothing happens to a file I am trying to delete. The only remove option is remove from Quick access, and ctrl-d doesn't work either. What the heck. Oh, by the way I tried

    :)
