It could be confusing when you try to delete a file or folder on your Windows PC only to get an error saying you'll need permission from another user to do this even though you're an Administrator . In my case, it was "You need permission to perform this action. You require permission from S-1-5-21-188****" .
To fix this issue:
Download Take ownership attached below
Unzip the file
Double-click Install_Take_Ownership.reg
Select Yes if Windows prompts you to allow this program make changes to your PC
You should get a prompt from Registry Editor asking you to confirm if you wish to proceed, select Yes
You should now get a success message, click OK
Right-click on the affected file or folder and select Take Ownership
You may now go ahead to move or delete the file / folder
