I downloaded a bunch of video files from my camera, and they take up a ton of room on my computer. I tried to delete them, but it keeps telling me that I don't have permission to do so.

First, it asks if I'm sure I want to move the folder to the recyling bin. When I say yes, it asks me to confirm the operation. Then I hit continue, and the screen darkens as another window pops up asking again for confirmation. After hitting continue again, the screen lightens and TELLS me that I don't have the permission I need.

I'm on an HP Vista, and I don't know how to tell my RAM. If there's anything else IMPORTANT I didn't put, let me know!Try Shift+Delete...this BYPASSES the Recycle Bin.
They will be GONE for good...If that doesn't work, you can try a program called KillBox!

It is powerful so be careful.
