I create a new file in my documents folder (on the server). When I try to delete the file later, I get the following error:
Cannot delete the file. You need permissions from domain\my own username to delete this file.
Why is that?
Honestly can't say WHY you're getting the error without being able to dig around. I would try removing and re-adding all rights/permissions on your My Documents folder, to make sure you don't have some wierd sub-permission set on it.
As a work-around you might also try something like Unlocker. It may actually be that some kind of process has the file locked....
The problem was the C:\Windows\CSC folder, which is used for Offline files. I had changed some access rights there (because I had to retrieve a couple of files).
To fix it, I restarted to safe mode, removed everything from the CSC folder, then rebooted. Now it's working again. Just make sure that you have synchronized everything or that you have made a copy of the CSC folder so no files get lost.
