    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
