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:
  1. Download Take ownership attached below
  2. Unzip the file
  3. Double-click Install_Take_Ownership.reg
  4. Select Yes if Windows prompts you to allow this program make changes to your PC

  5. You should  get a prompt from Registry Editor asking you to confirm if you wish to proceed, select Yes

  6. You should now get a success message, click OK
