    Why can’t I delete my file?


    I have a compressed/zipped file that I want to delete. When I try to delete it, the page says I cannot delete it and my access was denied. I look up the way to access that file and try it on my laptop. According to the instructions I used, I was supposed to right-click on the file, click on “Properties” and then click “Security”. After that, I was supposed to enable NFTS security options to allow me to extract or delete the file. When I clicked security, though, the page said that security was not accessible. How can I access security?

    :)
