network - how to access files

Question
0

Sign in to vote
My laptop is set up via network to access all files on my desktop computer. I get the following message when I tried to delete a file on my desktop computer from my laptop:

"Couldn't delete. We couldn't delete one or more of the files. Another app might be using them, or you might not have permission to delete them."

How do I grant permission on my desktop computer to allow my laptop to delete files (documents, pictures, etc.) on my desktop computer?

You have asked in the wrong forum. This forum is for questions and discussions about the TechNet Wiki.

When I get a similar message, I generally find that the file is opened on the remote computer (assuming I have permissions). But I would ask in one of these forums:

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/files

or (depending on your OS):
