How to resolve 'You don't have permission to access some items' when deleting a folder containing a transferred video on Mac?

Hello, Im trying to delete a folder and do not have permission. I unlock the folder and it still saysThe operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items.

The file unlocks in the get info section and then does not stay unlocked.


I created a video years ago and transfered it into this mac Air.
